Instructions

Prepare Ingredients

  • Toast the hazelnuts OPTIONAL. Heat a small skillet. Lightly toast the hazelnuts until just fragrant. Don't over cook, they will continue to cook when you take them off the heat.
    Whether heated or raw, rough chop the hazelnuts and set aside.
  • Dice the sweet potato into 1/2 inch cubes. In the same hot covered skillet, sauté 1 cup of sweet potato cubes in a TBSP of olive oil until tender and slightly brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the kale. Remove the tough center vein from the kale. Slice the kale thinly, turn 1/4 turn, and slice again to create small "confetti".
  • Put the kale, cooled sweet potatoes, chopped hazelnuts in a large mixing bowl. Add ¼ cup dressing and toss to distribute. Add more to taste.
  • Arrange the salad on a serving dish. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on the salad.
    Serve cold. Or, make the evening before, cover with plastic wrap and serve the next day.

Notes

NOTES:  Pomegranate arilles (seeds) can be found in the prepared fruit coolers with the produce. Look for small, sealed plastic cups often under the name Pom. They are shaped like popcorn kernels, only larger. Usually sold in 4 and 5.5 ounce cups.
