Warm kale, pomegranate & avocado salad

January 23, 2017 by Emma 13 Comments

Kale. I feel like I’m  clearly a bit late to the party on this one but now I’ve discovered the delights of warm kale, pomegranate and avocado salad, there’s no going back!

I generally try to avoid any foods that are a bit too trendy but as kale was on offer in Aldi last week, I thought I would finally give it a go. And I’m glad I did. Warming the kale makes this a comforting dish and the crisp bitterness of the leaves makes a great base for the smooth avocado and sharpness of the pomegranate seeds.

Although I have been trying to sneak some of the green stuff into the little ones’ food, this salad is strictly for me, so I have added some garlic. You could easily leave it out though.

This recipe is perfect for anyone taking part in Veganuary this month and even better, it’s naturally gluten free too. I’ve teamed up with some other great free from bloggers to show how easy it can be to eat vegan, gluten free food.

    Oooo this looks lovely. I tried kalettes the other day and I think I’m going to be eating a lot of it now, it’s not quite as strong as kale and quite cute to look at too! We love avocados too…we probably eat far too many here but they are so good aren’t they 🙂

    That’s really my kind of salad too, Emma! I would just swap the kale for Kalettes or lettuce, simply because I find Kale a touch bitter. Everything else is right up my street, especially the addition of garlic, he he! You can take the girl out of France….

    Hi, This looks delicious and a great alternative to using kale in a smoothie. I just need to get a pomegranate to give it a try, Chloe #FreeFromFridays

    Oooh Yum! Love kale… in everything!! The Peachicks are only big fans if it is crispy so this one may be just for me… such a shame! LOL! Love the colours too! x

    That sounds so beautifully fresh and packed with goodness. I always love how pomegranate brings gorgeous pops of colour (and flavour) to recipes. We too don’t often buy kale – I have no idea why because we love it when we do buy a bag of it! It’s going on our list right now for this weeks shop!

    Do you know what, I’ve never tried a warm salad! Beth will eat this with me, she loves green leaves, the greener the better and she adore pomegranate so it’s win win!
