This salad of massaged kale, pomegranate, persimmon, and pistachios is a great mix of tastes and textures. When you massage the kale, it gets soft and earthy, which goes well with the sweetness of the ripe persimmons and the burst of flavor from the pomegranate seeds. This colorful and healthy salad gets extra crunch from the chopped pistachios.
Ingredients: 4 cups kale leaves, stemmed and chopped. 1 pomegranate, seeds removed. 2 ripe persimmons, thinly sliced. 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. 1 tablespoon honey. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped kale leaves and a pinch of salt. Massage the kale leaves for about 2-3 minutes until they become tender and vibrant green. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the massaged kale and toss to coat the leaves evenly. Add the sliced persimmons and pomegranate seeds to the salad, gently tossing to combine. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the salad as a garnish. Serve the Massaged Kale with Pomegranate, Persimmon, and Pistachio salad immediately and enjoy!
