Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 teaspoons champagne vinegar

Half 5-ounce container baby kale
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

SWEET ONION DRESSING

The dressing was a crowd-pleasing sweet onion recipe that we'd used at Old Lahaina Luau. It's made with a fresh, uncooked sweet onion, that gets puréed with cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and oil. Try it on our Maui Kale Salad with cabbage, spicy peanuts, and potato chips.
