kale pomegranate salad

This kale pomegranate salad (aka Christmas Salad) is super easy to whip up and makes for a festive and healthy option for the holidays.

Kale Pomegranate Salad with Goat Cheese (Christmas Salad)

kale,

oz goat cheese, crumbled

pomegranate seeds (about 1 large pomegranate)

walnuts

sea salt and pepper,

olive oil

balsamic vinegar

maple syrup

dijon mustard

garlic

sea salt

herbs (optional)

Make dressing: add all ingredients into a blender and blend until combined or add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake to combine. Dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. Make it and store in the fridge until ready to prep the full salad.

In a large mixing bowl, combine kale with about 1/2 of the dressing and use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale. Add more dressing as needed (you may not need all of it). Reserve any leftover dressing for another use.

Add pomegranate seeds and goat cheese to the salad bowl (saving a little of each for topping), toss together and season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Add more dressing if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with candied nuts, additional pomegranate seeds and goat cheese.

Wow! Amazing recipe. And I think this is both delicious and healthy. Definitely will try to make this recipe.

Delicious, easy salad!! And it’s beautiful and healthy too! I made this for Christmas Day dinner and it was a big hit with my family! Only modification I made was replacing the candied walnuts with toasted raw walnuts.

Love this salad. Everything about it is wonderful--taste, texture, appearance.I used a creamy feta (not too dry and crumbly).

I made the salad yesterday for Christmas Eve - it was delicious and easy to make! And it looks so festive too!

This salad is my new absolute favorite. The combination of flavors is perfection.  I made this for Christmas dinner and it was loved by everyone! It will definitely be made many years to come (not to mention many times in between). Highly recommend!

This was SO GOOD! I'm a bad vegan and terrible at eating salads, especially kale based ones, but this is a new staple recipe for sure! I did leave out the parsley because I don't like the taste, but even without it was so flavorful and delicious. I might try it with a little quinoa added next time. Thanks for this recipe!
