I whipped this one up in just a few minutes using the ingredients I had on hand. Please note it's a raw kale base, and I'll tell you how I massaged the kale so it isn't harsh tasting. You can always use spinach or lettuce. Use whatever ratios you like.
Ingredients:
Kale
Pomegranate seeds
Beet - wash, peel and shred it raw
Toasted pumpkin seeds (or other winter squash seeds). Use roasted & salted sunflower seeds as an alternative.
Radishes, sliced thin
For the kale:
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt
Additional dressing options:
Balsamic vinegar
More olive oil
Pepper
How to prepare the kale:
1. Wash kale and pat dry with dishtowel.
2. Cut or tear leaves off the stem. Discard stem or save for soup. Cut/tear leaves into bite sized pieces, 3" or smaller.
3. Place leaves in medium bowl. Add 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil and a few dashes of salt. Increase amounts if using a whole bunch of kale.
4. With clean hands, mix and smush 1-2 minutes until the kale has darkened. Congratulations - you've massaged it well!
Now add other solid ingredients and toss. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pepper to taste.
