Ingredients

For the Pomegranate Molasses:

4 cups pomegranate juice
1/4 cup white sugar

For the Salad:

4 cups kale stems removed and leaves chopped into 1-cm slices
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons olive oil extra virgin
4 cups radicchio core removed and leaves chopped into 1-cm slices
2 oranges segmented (supremes)
½ cup pomegranate seeds
¼ cup toasted pistachios roughly chopped

For the Pomegranate Dressing:

¼ cup homemade pomegranate molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To Make the Pomegranate Molasses:

In a small sauce pot, combine the pomegranate juice and sugar.
Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat to medium-high and let it simmer gently until the mixture reduces to about 1/4 cup and reaches a syrupy consistency. This usually takes about 20 minutes. Stir every few minutes, especially near the end of the cooking process, to ensure the syrup does not burn.
Allow the molasses to cool completely before making the dressing. It can be stored in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to a month.

To Make the Salad and Dressing:

In a large bowl, massage the kale with a pinch of salt and olive oil until it softens. Add the radicchio and toss to combine.
Arrange the orange supremes, pomegranate seeds, and toasted pistachios on top of the greens.
To make the dressing, whisk together the pomegranate molasses, honey, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat and enjoy!
