4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the coated walnuts onto the baking sheet, and bake for 5-7 minutes until walnuts are caramelized. Set aside.

Salad:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine kale with 3/4 of the dressing. Use your hands to massage the dressing into the kale.

3. Transfer to a serving bowl, and sprinkle with walnuts.

Switch it up: Use pumpkin seeds instead of walnuts. Try adding dried cranberries instead of pomegranate seeds. However, dried cranberries will contain a higher sugar content.

• Dressing can be prepared three days ahead of time. Refrigerate and store in an airtight container.
