Ingredients

DRESSING

  • 4 tbls pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbls lemon or lime juice
  • 6 tbls extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt flakes and pepper to taste

SALAD

  • 1 bunch kale trimmed, washed, and torn into smaller pieces
  • Extra virgin olive oil / apple cider vinegar / sea salt flakes and pepper for massaging kale
  • Handful of Italian parsley washed, whole leaves only
  • Toasted buckwheat to sprinkle

OTHER INGREDIENTS TO CONSIDER

  • Radish thinly sliced
  • Green or red cabbage thinly sliced
  • Pomegranate seeds
  • Roasted pumpkin slices for a more substantial salad – sprinkle pumpkin with Nigella seeds for a lovely flavour combination

Instructions

  • Combine dressing ingredients (this will make more than you need so store extra in the fridge and use on other salads ... it's delicious!)
  • Place kale into a large bowl and massage with a little olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sea salt flakes and pepper to help break down fibres
  • Once done to your liking, place kale onto a large serving platter
  • Drizzle kale with the dressing
  • Place the parsley leaves around the kale so that it can be seen easily
  • Finally sprinkle the salad with toasted buckwheat (do this last if you are adding any of the other optional extras)
