I just LOVE a kale salad and as far as I’m concerned, they are welcome on every table for any holiday or non holiday meal.

This beauty is packed with kale + pecans + pomegranate + sunflower seeds + feta cheese, which = a seriously delicious party on your plate that would happen to perfect for the holidays.

It also works brilliantly as a light lunch or dinner, so no need to wait for the party to whip this one up.

    If I can’t get pomegranate seeds, what would be a good sub for that pop of flavor. Thanks. Love your you tube channel Dani. I look forward to the notifications, to see what you will inspire next.

    If you cut the top off the pomegranate you will notice that there is the white membrane strips. If you score across those from top to bottom and you pull apart from there you will find that’s that the aerials just fall out.

    Can you substitute spinach for the kale? I love kale but my husband not so much
