This seasonal combination of raw kale, beet, carrot and some pomegranate seeds is a great start to the new year and antidote to the excess of the holiday season.
After 3 turkey dinners and a truly obscene amount of baking and chocolate I need some green leafy vegetables in my life stat.
For the Salad
half a pomegranate’s seeds
2 avocados
Grate your raw carrots and beets. I cut off the ends and use the food processor but you could grate them by hand.
Tear kale into bit sized pieces. Now for the fun part; massaging your kale with avocado. This is what makes this salad so delicious. With clean hands take two avocados and much them into the torn up kale covering each piece.
Combine the avocado massaged kale with the beets, carrots and pomegranate seeds. Toss as evenly as possible.
Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 scant teaspoon of salt
Pour on your dressing and toss again. Delicious and a nice break from the gravy train.
That looks very good to me. I prefer salads over sweets. Taste good and feel great!
Looks so delicious! Can’t wait to try this with all my kale and pomegranates. We inherited a pomegranate tree in our move. Totally wonderful. Happy New Year!
Great salad to start the new year off!!
Oh my goodness – must have this salad!!! Can’t wait to go grocery shopping this month for the ingredients~ thanks for sharing~ BTW great pics included!
I am so impressed with how long this salad keeps.
I love pomegranate but had never thought of putting it in a salad, I will now!
I made this for the second time yesterday to bring to a barbecue, and had to pass the recipe along to every person that was there. It was really that good! Thanks for sharing!
