    I blame this grapefruit pomegranate kale salad on the baby I am growing. A few months ago I started having intense pregnancy cravings for pomegranate seeds. My soon to be angel of a sister-in-law brought me some pomegranates from her tree in California and boy were they satisfying! After that, I started eating one every couple of days just by smacking all of the seeds into a bowl and eating them with a spoon. It was pure heaven.

    Ingredients for grapefruit pomegranate kale salad

    In an attempt to vary my nutrition a bit more, I put together this grapefruit pomegranate kale salad which stars the pomegranate and a few of her closest friends: grapefruit, coconut, and pecans.  You guys, it’s good. Make it. Eat it. Love it!

    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

    Notes

    • You can use any pomegranate juice you have leftover from deseeding your pomegranate in the dressing as well as the grapefruit juice. Just make sure it adds up to ¼ cup.
    • If your grapefruit is too tart, rest the sections in a bowl with a sprinkle of coconut sugar for a few minutes before you add them to the salad.
