Pomegranate and Apple Kale Salad combines fall flavors in a healthy and hearty salad. It’s perfect as a starter or a festive potluck dish. And the best part of making Pomegranate and Apple Kale Salad is that it comes together in minutes and lasts well for days in the refrigerator.
If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know how much I love massaged kale salads.
The flavor combinations are endless, and you can make kale salads savory or sweet.
This recipe falls into the latter category with the addition of pomegranate seeds and apple.
You can use any variety of apple that you like, but I prefer Pink Lady or Granny Smith in this salad.
It holds up well, so you can make it in advance and refrigerate it until ready to serve.
The festive colors are perfect for any holiday table.
Kale is extremely nutritious and can help lower cholesterol.
It’s also contains very high levels of vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C.

Pomegranate and Apple Kale Salad is delicious with so many dishes.
I love how it adds vibrant color to the meal, too.
It goes very well with comfort foods such as Lentil Meatloaf Muffins, Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, and Easy Vegan Mushroom Gravy.
It’s also the perfect compliment to spicy foods such as Soyrizo Potato Tacos or Breakfast Nachos.
