Kale Pear Pomegranate Salad

Kale Pear Pomegranate Salad

Okay, out with it… as natural health practitioners we LOVE kale!  Not only do we love it for its nutrient density but also for its versatility. As much as we use and love kale in our everyday meals, plain ol’ kale salad can be a bit well let’s say plain.  It’s what you put with kale that makes life interesting. In this recipe the interest comes from the crunch of the pomegranate seeds and the sweet flavour of the pear but the real show stopper is the Salted Carmel Walnuts from Truly Organic Foods.  They make great snacks but we’ve elevated them to the Star of Show in this crunchy, sweet, nutritious salad.
