Ingredients

Dressing

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 clove minced garlic
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad

1 large bunch kale ribs and stems removed and torn into 2” pieces

Instructions

Make the Dressing

In a blender or mason jar, combine the oil, vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shake or process until combined.

Massage the Kale

Place the kale in a large bowl.
Pour 2 tablespoons of the dressing over the kale. With clean or gloved hands, massage the dressing into the kale for about 3 minutes. (If you don’t have gloves, you can just massage the kale with a little oil and sprinkle of salt to avoid garlic-y hands.)

Make the Salad

Add the pomegranate, red onion, orange, goat cheese, and walnuts to the bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
