avocado berries blackberry creamy dressing easy fresh berries fruit healthy healthy lunch kiwi lime low calorie recipe salad side dish sweet Valentine's Day zesty

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime Dressing

There’s one thing that I truly love, and that’s a good salad.

That might surprise you since I share so many sweets and comfort foods, but it’s true. I’m a salad girl, I could live off of it. There’s so many ways to create a perfect salad. I love so many vegetables and I live for colorful dishes and meals. With such a variety of ways to make a salad, sometimes I just throw them together without even thinking.

One day a few weeks ago I had a few different types of fruit and nothing in particular to use them in. I kept eyeing them, knowing I wanted them for something special. Then I thought of it.

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime Dressing

What about a salad?

A simple salad that could combine simple greens like kale and green leaf lettuce with the sweet tang of kiwis and pomegranate seeds. Round it out with the creaminess of avocado and sprinkle a bit of green onion and feta cheese. Then finish it off with a simple dressing made of blackberry and lime juice – oh, we have a winner!

Yes, I’d pay to eat this salad. You could even add some grilled chicken slices to make it a complete meal. Or you can add sliced apples or pears for a bit more crunch.
This would be a wonderful salad to include in your Valentine’s Day meal for you sweetie. The colors are beautiful and it has the perfect combination of flavors to compliment a variety of main courses. Some wonderful romantic meal ideas would be my New York Steaks with my Smashed Potatoes and maybe some chocolate cherry brownies for dessert. How romantic!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup green leaf lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 kiwis, diced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • juice of 2 limes
  • zest of 1 lime
  • dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime DressingBegin by chopping up your green leaf lettuce and kale. Divide into two bowls.

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime DressingAdd the sliced avocados.

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime DressingThen add the kiwi and green onions.

Yum.

Top with the pomegranate seeds and feta cheese.

    This looks like such a great combination! I’m not the biggest fan of avocado, but I’ve been looking for chances to try it different ways. Thanks for sharing! #SITSBlogging

    • MamaHarris says

      February 13, 2014 at 4:56 pm

      This would be great even without the avocado. It’s actually not even too noticeable due to the other strong flavors. It just adds a creaminess.

  5. Christine says

    February 13, 2014 at 8:23 pm

    Ooh this looks so good. I adore salads, but I never put fruit in them, I really need to start because I know I would love this. I try to put as much colour in a salad as possible and that is very colourful! 🙂

    • MamaHarris says

      February 13, 2014 at 10:04 pm

      Colorful makes me happy!!

    • MamaHarris says

      February 17, 2014 at 8:48 am

      Thank you! Yes, it’s great for summer, and many ingredients can be swapped out in place of other seasonal items. It’s a great base!

    This sounds so light and refreshing I will need to make it. I’m sure my kiddos will love it too. We love salads and I enjoy finding new combos. Have a great week.

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort. 

Get the recipe by clicking the link in profile at @mamaharriskitchen or just google “Mama Harris Kitchen Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup” 🍲 Enjoy!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Happy December, all!! 🎄Since it’s basically Christmas now, it’s time to share ALL the holiday cookies! 

Every year I join my friend @natashanicholes as she heads up her #HousefulofCookies virtual cookie swap, where many of us share some sweet treats for the holiday season. 

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
