- Meanwhile, in small canning jar with lid, combine raw apple juice, olive oil, cider vinegar, mustard and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Seal jar and shake vigorously. (Make-ahead: Can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.)
- Place kale in mixing bowl; drizzle with 2 tbsp of the vinaigrette. Massage kale with hands for about 1 minute to coat well. Let stand for 15 minutes. Transfer salad to serving bowl; add roasted vegetables. Drizzle with 2 tbsp of remaining dressing; mix gently to coat. Garnish with pear slices; drizzle with remaining dressing. Scatter pecans, pepitas and thyme sprigs over top.
- Test Kitchen Tip: Use pears that are ripe but still firm, so they are flavourful but hold together well.
