US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a big bowl, combine pomegranate, persimmon, kale, shallot, shaved almonds and parmesan cheese.
  • Make Pomegranate Honey Vinaigrette: Whisk pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper then gradually whisk in olive oil.
  • Drizzle vinaigrette dressing over salad.
  • Serve or refrigerate for ½ hour before serving.

Notes

  1. Juice 1 ½ to 2 cups pomegranate seeds to get ½ cup juice. This post will show you How to Juice a Pomegranate.
  2. I prefer persimmon unpeeled with crunchy skin.
  3. Red onion is a substitute for shallot.
  4. Apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar combined with brown sugar or honey can be used in place of balsamic vinegar. Note: Substitute 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon apple cider or red wine vinegar and ½ teaspoon brown sugar or honey.
  5. This salad can be prepared a few hours before serving. Combine all the salad ingredients except for the almonds and refrigerate. Add almonds and Pomegranate Honey Vinaigrette dressing when ready to serve. Also, dressing can be refrigerated before serving.
  6. Store leftover salad in a sealed container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
  7. Double the salad dressing recipe if you prefer more dressing.
