Festive Kale Pomegranate Pecan Salad

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.
