Kale Tabbouleh with Ras el Hanout Dressing
- Details
This festive salad is perfect holiday fare. At a time when greens can often be over- shadowed by sweets, put this on the table and it will become everyone’s first choice instead. The bright citrus vinaigrette helps tenderize the kale, and the pomegranate seeds add a sunny pop of flavor.
