Рецепт Kale Salad with Slivered Almonds and Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Kale Salad with Slivered Almonds and Pomegranate Vinaigrette
When I looked at the photograph that I took for this post, I realized that I was three months late for the perfect Christmas salad! As Christmasy as it looks, it’s makes a beautiful and healthy accompaniment to any meal any time of the year. I love eating foods that are vibrantly colored. As a rule, fruits and vegetables that are deep and vibrant in color are full of vitamin and nutrients.
Pomegranates have gotten very popular over the last few years and pomegranate juice can be found in most supermarkets these days. For this post, I found pomegranate seeds at Whole Foods. If you buy a whole pomegranate, the easiest way to remove the seeds is to submerge the pomegranate in a large bowl of water and gently pull the seeds away from the pulp.
Kale, an incredibly healthy vegetable, is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, and rich in calcium. We eat kale regularly and my favorite preparation is to saute the leaves with garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
We’re heading out tomorrow for our Asia cruise. We’re taking a Vietnamese cooking class in Na Trang. We go to a Vietnamese market and then make 4 or 5 dishes. I’m hoping to posts some of our adventures. Stay tuned.
