Helpful Tips
For an added crunch, consider adding some sliced radishes or crispy chickpeas. If you prefer a vegan version, simply omit the feta cheese or substitute it with a plant-based alternative. To make the process quicker, you can buy pre-washed, chopped kale from the grocery store. This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days, just store the dressing separately to keep the kale from getting soggy.
Pairings
This Pomegranate and Kale Salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or salmon. For a drink, a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing iced tea would complement the flavors perfectly.
