Alright! Are you guys ready to take your salad game up a notch?? This Kale Rainbow Salad came about one day when I decided to experiment a little and combine different fruits that I love. One flash of inspiration, a little bit of tinkering, and voila, a salad was born! It’s definitely been a hit, and has become my ‘go-to’ salad for dinner parties and potlucks (somehow I’m always the one they put in charge of bringing the salad... go figure!). I’ve been asked for the recipe every single time I’ve made it, so I definitely think I’m onto something here!
This beautiful salad is a nice change from the many other salads I have in my rotation. It's simple and clean, and with just a few ingredients, each one gets to shine through. And the combination of pomegranate & goat cheese with the pop of herbs in the dressing is oh so yum ;)
