How to Make: A Step by Step Guide

Step 1: Prepare Kale

Remove any thick stems from the kale and slice across leaves into ½ inch ribbons. Place kale in large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the Terra Verde Extra Virgin Olive Oil and massage the oil into the leaves. The kale will begin to soften and get a darker shade of green. Allow the kale to soften while preparing the other vegetables.

Step 2: Prepare Other Vegetables

Using a peeler, peel carrots into long thin strips. Cut cauliflower into small florets. The cauliflower can be raw or roasted slightly.

Step 3: Add Vegetables

Add carrots, cauliflower, radish, and fennel to the bowl with the kale and toss to combine.

Step 4: Add Fruit

Arrange on a plate and top with blood orange segments and pomegranate seeds.

Step 5: Make Dressing and Add to Salad

Place all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Drizzle dressing on salad. Leftover dressing can be sealed in jar and will stay good for up to 1 week.
