Pomegrante & Kale winning combination

Look at this picture -

Do you know what it is?  Well, the title already gave it away, right?!  Beautiful lacinato kale, shredded purple carrots, and pomegranate.  A winning combination - the sweetness of the pomgrante goes so perfectly well with the earthiness of the kale.

I remember when we lived in the midwest kale was pretty foreign to me - and pomegranate?  Okay I had it at a mexican restaurant in Oak Park but never besides that....I started to use pomegrante a couple years ago or so.  We all love it - for its texture, and flavor.  It goes so well with greens :)

This week I got two pomegrante at a really good price, and we have had lacinato kale.  So why not make kale salad with a new twist.  Here is what is in it...
