Kale & Pomegranate Salad

2 tsp Dijon-style mustard

2 tbsp Pomegranate balsamic vinegar

0.25 cup Olive oil

Salt & pepper, to taste

5 cups Baby kale

1 Bulb fennel, thinly sliced

0.50 cup Pomegranate seeds or sliced red grapes

0.25 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

0.25 cup Walnut halves, toasted

Marinade

1.50 cups Pomegranate juice

3 tbsp Olive oil

3 Garlic, chopped

1 tbsp Ground ginger

1 tbsp Cinnamon

2 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Salt

0.50 tsp Pepper

In a large, plastic, zip top bag, combine pomegranate juice, oil, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, salt and pepper. Add lamb to marinade in bag; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

Remove lamb from marinade; pat dry.

Heat gas grill to high; scrape grates clean and brush with oil. Grill lamb, fat side down, over medium-high heat 25 to 35 minutes total, turning halfway through cooking. Cook to desired doneness, about 145°F for medium-rare and 160°F for medium. Remove lamb from grill and loosely cover with foil; let rest about 15 minutes and thinly slice.

In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add kale, fennel and pomegranate seeds or grapes; toss to coat.

To serve, arrange dressed salad on a platter; top with sliced lamb, Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts.
