Ingredients
- 1/2 rotisserie chicken 358 grams, skin and bones removed
- 10 cups kale chopped
- 8 fig ends removed, halved, small
- 1/3 cup pomegranate arils
- 2 oz goat cheese crumbles
- 2 1/2 tbsp pine nuts
- olive oil for massaging kale
- carrot optional, shaved/shredded
Pomegranate Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Lover's Seasoning Flavor God brand
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Add halved figs, cut side up, to the baking sheet. If desired, add a drop of honey on top of each fig. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Add pomegranate juice to a small pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat to a simmer and continue to simmer for 15-20 minutes or until reduced by half. Set aside to cool.
- Add kale to a large bowl. Drizzle with about 1 tsp of olive oil and massage the kale gently until the olive oil is spread evenly and the kale turns a brighter green, like the kale in the photos. (You shouldn't need to spend more than a couple seconds on any one piece of kale.)
- Whisk cooled pomegranate juice together with the remaining vinaigrette ingredients. Set aside.
- Assemble salads with kale, chicken, figs, pomegranate arils, goat cheese, pine nuts, and carrots (if desired). Top with vinaigrette before serving.
