Hearty, sweet, and peppery kale salad that will make people ask for seconds.
I dont usually eat kale salad and crave it but this one is special. It is sooo easy to make and fills you up with joy. I bring this to my families Thanksgiving every year. Also eat this on a quick weeknight sinner with leftover chicken.
It just takes one brave family member who is not labeled by all as the “official dieter of the family” to try it in order to be credible to its delish status.
They will let out a big yummm or mmmmm and say “this is super-tastic” to start a domino effect of family members with the green stuff in their mouth in a family chew off. The secret is the kale stays firm and chewy with a punch of citrusy lemon, “KAPOW” pepper and wonderful garlic. Nestled in with the green goodness is a jewel of pomegranate and a orange crescent of mandarin to juice up the bite.
