1/3 cup fresh diced pineapple
3 tablespoons basil, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions
- For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in the fridge to chill ready to toss salad. Be sure to give it a quick stir right before tossing.
- For the salad: Fill a large bowl with the chopped kale and cabbage. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette and toss together. Allow to sit for a few minutes for the leaves to soften. Add watermelon, strawberries, peach,pineapple and 1 tablespoon of basil. Gently toss and divide into bowls.
