Servings: 6
Ingredients
For the Dressing
- 1/4 cup POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Salad
- 8 cups kale deboned and chopped
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 2 oz. goat cheese crumbles
- 2 medium pears sliced
- 1/3 cup POM Wonderful Arils optional
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Optional:
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa per serving
- 4 oz. chicken breast per serving
Instructions
For the Dressing
- Prep your dressing by placing all ingredients for dressing in a mason jar. Screw the cap and shake until ingredients are mixed well. Set aside.
For the Salad
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While walnuts are baking, place chopped kale in a large bowl. Pour dressing over the kale and massage kale with your hands for 3-5 minutes. This will make the kale easier to digest and less pungent.
- Once you've massage your kale, add the rest of the ingredients to the salad and toss.
- Eat as is or top with a protein such as quinoa, chicken breast, or both!
