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.

Check out this article from Healthline to learn more about the benefits of eating kale.

And since apples and pomegranate seeds are both high in dietary fiber, this salad is more filling that it looks.

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.

    I love kale salad too! If it weren’t for my husband, I’d probably have one every night for dinner. So healthy and yummy. This recipe looks perfect for fall. I love pomegranate seeds and look forward to using hem in salads and recipes all year.

    Easy and healthy salad. But I never tried raw kale for salad, because I feel it’s hard to chew. So I sauté for 2 minutes then I add to my salad bowl ( only kale). This sounds interesting let me try your method!

    I am all about kale salads too. Some people seem to lump them into the “too healthy” category, but I eat them several times a week. They are so good and open to loads of possibilities.
