Roast Kale & Medita Sheep's Cheese Salad
Oven roasted salads are the way we roll in the winter. They’re a one-pan wonder and if you really don’t feel like washing up, you can just eat this one straight from the pan. We won’t tell anyone…

5. While it cooks, whisk the honey with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp juice squeezed from your orange. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Love it. It is different to anything else I've done before. Love the Medita cheese, unlike feta it has its sweetness and special taste which makes this salad something else. I could eat this everyday if the cheese wasn't so expensive.

My husband and I loved this recipe - love the blend of flavours! Kale is my favourite veggie but my husband is kind of picky so I would say this recipe is a crowd pleaser. I did make a couple of adjustments - I used feta instead of sheep's cheese, a blood orange instead of a regular one and three cloves of garlic. Only because that's what we had (and I love garlic). The blood orange actually gave it a great tang. Would definitely make again.

This got my husband eating kale and enthusing about it - that's what I call a result! It works without the pomegranate seeds but I'm sure they would make it look prettier.

Not nice at all. An odd mixture of sweetness from the orange and sourness from the cheese. As recommended in the recipe the kale was unpleasantly course and chewy.
