Pomegranate Salad is so flavorful with colorful fruits and vegetables in a homemade dressing.
Ingredients :
8 cups kale washed, dried and torn into bite sized pieces
1 granny smith apple quartered and thinly sliced
½ cup pomegranate arils
⅓ cup dried cranberries
2 green onions thinly sliced
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup toasted pecans
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup vegetable oil
Directions :
Combine all dressing ingredients except for the oil in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
While continuing to whisk, drizzle in the oil very slowly until well combined. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to use.
Slice the apple and toss with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning).
Place the kale in a salad bowl and massage the leaves well with your hands until they turn dark green and soften. You can add a drop of oil to make this task easier if you'd like.
Add the feta cheese, green onions, and dressing to taste. You may not use all of the dressing.
Toss the ingredients well to combine. Top the salad remaining ingredients.
