“A zesty combination of raw pomegranate and tender fresh kale makes a surprisingly great winter salad! By adding sliced or slivered almonds and sunflower seeds, you get a tasty crunch! Some great add-in options are: Parmesan cheese, currants or raisins, dill, chopped bacon, diced Kalamata olives, chopped green onion, chives, cubed apple, lemon juice, or orange zest. Serves well by itself or with crackers, toasted pitas, sandwich wraps (in place of lettuce), or tuna salad.” - by calabash0420

1 1/2 cups pomegranate seeds

"I love this salad! I love kale, and this is a great recipe for enjoying it raw. The dressing is very tasty. I used a mix of organic baby kales, easy to prepare because I only had to open the bag. ..." See moreSeeding the pomegranate does take some time, but you can by the seeds in a package, so that could make prep faster. Very easy recipe, very healthy, and very delicious! Thank You!"
