Raw Baby Kale Salad with Oranges, Blueberries + Pomegranate Seeds

0 · Jan 22, 2014 · Lindsey Johnson · 5 Comments

Baby Kale Baby Kale Salad with Oranges, Blueberries and Pomegranate | HelloGlow.co with Oranges, Blueberries and Pomegranate | Hello GlowKale has been on the top of the food trends list for the past few years, and I hope it stays that way. I love me some dark, leafy greens! It took a while to get used it to it but I’m now officially 100% on board.

Raw kale might sound kind of intimidating, but trust me on this one: raw kale salads will change your life!

Baby Kale Salad with Oranges, Blueberries and Pomegranate | HelloGlow.coIf you’re still warming up to the idea, I recommend starting with baby kale, which is a little sweeter and more tender than its grownup counterpart. You can usually find it along with the tubs of pre-washed greens at the grocery store.

But if you have trouble, by all means, use whatever you can find. The larger leaves just need to be removed from the tough, woody stem and cut (or torn) into smaller pieces. You can also massage the leaves with a little lime or lemon juice to soften them up a bit, if needed.

Baby Kale Salad with Oranges, Blueberries and Pomegranate | HelloGlow.coI love adding fresh fruit to salad. It’s a great way to add some fun colors and textures – and a little sweetness, of course. Maybe it’s just me, but a pretty salad feels like an enjoyable treat instead of boring, healthy food.

And the jewel tones of blood oranges, blueberries and pomegranate seeds complement the dark green kale so well. I always say that I love pretty food – and it’s true! We eat with our eyes, too. So load up your salad with whatever colorful fruits and veggies pique your interest to get the most health benefits.

The fruits I chose, while not mandatory, fall into the super food category, which means that they’re full of nutritious antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to boost our immune systems and keep our bodies running at peak performance.

There are lots of other superfoods out there, though, so play around with them and get creative! Honestly, they all taste so good, so why not?
