Photo from Fed and Fit
This is one of the prettiest salads I have ever seen! WordPress featured this salad from “Fed and Fit” last month and it looked super scrumptious! It also looked like something I could retro-fit for those of us that like to keep it moving…you know how I operate!
Original Recipe in Black, The Good Stuff 411′s version in Red! Either way, Enjoy!
kale and pomegranate salad
serves 9 ( serves 4 twice)
Ingredients:
1 head of curly kale (1 bag of Harvest Sensations Kale Salad or Kale Salad in a bag from Trader Joe’s)
½ head of purple cabbage (add or skip)
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley (about 2 cups) (add or skip)
2 pomegranates (pomegranates already seeded. can buy at Costco, trader joe’s, Safeway, whole foods)
5 limes (Lime juice about 8 Tb, I only use Nellie & Joe’s Famous Lime Juice, any grocery store. That said as much as I like limes and salt, the kids not so much-or at least not more than a few bites, little taste buds:)…so back to Galeos (see Favorite things post), yummy, healthy, and they eat every last bite!)
1 T sea salt
Directions:
NOTE: Use Half of everything if you are doing this for 4
Dump Kale Salad Mix into a pretty salad bowl
Remove the stems before finely chopping the kale and cabbage, then set aside.
Roughly run knife through the parsley and toss with the kale and cabbage.
Dump lime juice and salt into a small bowl and mix or get Galeos out of the fridge:)
In a bowl, juice the limes and add the sea salt to dissolve.
Dump lime juice/salt combo over kale salad and combine well (remember only half if serving again later during the week or for lunch) or now add dressing!
Deseed the two pomegranates. The best way to deseed pomegranates is to cut the fruit in half then carefully break it apart with your hands and lightly brush the seeds away from the membrane. [Make sure to either wear an apron or something red! The juice stains.]
Massage the kale, cabbage, and parsley with the sea salt lime dressing. You can perform this step a couple of hours before serving. The acidic dressing will help breakdown some of the rough texture of the kale.
Open package & dump pomegranate seeds over dressed salad and serve!
Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the dressed salad and serve!
