Warm Kale Salad with Pomegranate and Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes is one of the best flavor combinations ever!

Warm Kale Salad with Pomegranate and Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes

Warm kale salad with…

People think I’m nuts with some of my flavor combinations…until they taste my madness. 

Pomegranates

Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits and have a bright flavor that adds a new level of yum to a savory dish (or any dish you opt to throw them into).

On the day that this Warm Kale Salad recipe was born, I was doing what I do pretty much everyday and simply playing with the contents of my produce basket.

This “method” of cooking always seems to work out in my favor for one simple reason: my produce basket is always full of seasonal fruits and vegetables from my farmer’s market and seasonal flavors almost always work well together no matter how you swing it.

Seasonal produce

When you are cooking with seasonal produce, the flavors and colors are going to be sooooo much more vibrant. Thus, the ingredients you are using does all the work for you in the quest to make a dish taste like heaven. This warm kale salad is a great example.

Seasoning

So little seasoning is required to make fresh, seasonal goods delicious (except garlic, garlic makes everything better). There, I just gave you another reason to buy seasonal. Now go join a CSA!

Ingredients 

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups Brussels sprouts halved

      Avocado oil or olive oil would work beautifully

    I have to admit, I’ve never used pomegranate seeds because I didn’t want to mess with a pomegranate, but this recipe looks worth the trouble. 🙂
