Wash and dry the kale with a paper towel (or us a salad spinner). Remove the stem. Tear the kale leaves into bite sized pieces and toss in a large bowl.
Add olive oil and massage the kale (don't skip this step!). Next add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and salt. Toss well.
Add fresh blueberries to the salad. Cut the goat cheese into bite sized pieces. Lightly crush the pecans and add them to the salad. Top the salad with sliced red onion.
