Method

Preparation of Salad Base

  1. 1

    Wash and Dry Baby Kale

    Rinse the baby kale under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Prepare Pomegranate Seeds

    If using a whole pomegranate, cut it in half and gently tap the back with a wooden spoon to release the seeds. Alternatively, use pre-packaged pomegranate seeds.

Toppings and Assembly

  1. 3

    Toast the Pecans

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pecans for 5-7 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly browned. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the washed baby kale, pomegranate seeds, toasted pecans, and blue cheese crumbles.

Making the Dressing

  1. 5

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard seeds, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Serving

  1. 7
