Apple Pomegranate Kale Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette

Came across this fabulous winter salad recipe on Pinterest (shocker).  It's delicious as is, but would be awesome with some grilled chicken or fish as well!  The original recipe can be found here on www.simplebites.net.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pound lacinato kale, washed and dried
• 1 honeycrisp or similar apple, thinly sliced
• 1 cup pomegranate arils
• 1/4 cup feta cheese
• 1 small shallot, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl or cup, whisk together the champagne vinegar, lemon juice, honey, shallot, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while whisking to emulsify. Set aside.
2. Remove the rib of each piece of kale. Cut the kale into thin strips, 1/4″ wide. Using your hands, squeeze the strips tightly to bruise. Pour the dressing over the kale and toss to coat. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before topping.
3. When the kale has marinated, add in the apple slices, pomegranate arils, feta, and shallot. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
