Are you excited?
Because arent we all bored of the usual tomato-cucumber-lettuce garden salad routine??
So for Salad #1 I offer this festive, substantial, something-a-little-different DOUBLE Pomegranate Salad!
Pomegranate Salad
This festive looking salad hasholidayswritten all over it.
Think Christmas/ Thanksgiving, Easter, and every in between.
And they bring welcome textural crunch to the salad.
Pomegranates can be a bit pricey but its the star ingredient for this salad and you only need one.
Plus, you get more seeds out of it than you think at least 1 cup, usually more!
I like to MARINATE my kale which tenderises the leaves and softens the harshness of the distinct kale flavour.
SO MUCH TASTIER!!!
Oh and this is my trick for how I remove kale leaves from the stems quickly!
:
Blue cheese Any cheese thats creamy, salty but crumble-able (is that a word?)
It is an excellent mild blue thats a good way to introduce sceptics to blue cheese.
I dont have a favourite, I just generally love all manner of blue cheese!
Dried cranberries For an extra little sprinkle of holiday flavour that complements the pomegranate!
It adds yet another element of both colour and fresh juicy interest!
I used grapefruit because its what I have, but I prefer blood or normal oranges.
Peaches and nectarines are so good too, just not quite in season yet!
Where to buy pomegranate molasses Its pretty common nowadays, sold in the vinegar section of everyday grocery stores.
While you might get expensive brands, you might also find good value ones.
The one pictured above is from Harris Farm Markets (Sydney) and cost $5.
Its got such an intense flavour you dont need much!
It also makes an excellent straight substitute for Balsamic Glaze in any recipe.
Youre shocked, right?
Alternative to walnuts Pecans would also be really great in this.
Think Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, birthdays and other celebrations.
But believe me when I say inevitably a side ofcrusty breadand butter will make an appearance, orflatbreadfor stuffing.
