Ingredients
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 acorn squash
- extra virgin olive oil for brushing
- 1 cup hazelnut toasted and rough chopped, whole
- 2 Fuyu persimmon diced (no need to peel
- 1 cup wild rice cooked
- 1 pear halved and thinly sliced, ripe
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup figs halved or quartered depending on size, dried
Dressing
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp pomegranate vinegar
- 4 Tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tsp ground allspice or more, to taste
- salt to taste, cracked
- black pepper to taste, cracked
Instructions
- Set oven to 350°F.
- Halve the squash and remove the seeds. Rinse the pulp off them and pat dry. Toss the seeds with a little olive oil to coat.
- Thinly slice one half of the squash. Toss the squash slices with a little olive oil, and a little salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet, and put the seeds alongside them. Roast the seeds for 15 minutes, stirring once during baking. Turn the the squash and roast for another 15 minutes, or until tender.
- Wash and dry the kale. Stack the leaves and use a sharp knife to shred it finely. Cut the shreds in half if they are long. Put the kale in a large shallow salad bowl and toss with a couple of tablespoons of the dressing.
- Arrange the rest of the ingredients on top, either in stripes, or sections, putting the pomegranate seeds in the center.
- To make the dressing put the ingredients in a small jar, cover and give a good shake. Taste to adjust any of the components to your liking. Store extra dressing in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use lemon juice to keep sliced apples or pears from turning brown.
- Fuyu persimmons are the round, apple-like persimmons. They stay firm even when ripe.
- Pomegranate seeds are usually scarlet red, but sometimes, for no particular reason, they will be translucent pink, or even white. Don't worry, they are just as delicious, whatever color you get.
- Make sure your grapes are seedless, reach in and taste one if necessary.
- If you can't find pomegranate molasses in the International section of your supermarket, you can buy it online.
- A large, shallow salad bowl works best because it has a big surface area to show off your ingredients.
