Sticky Red Bean, Kale + Feta Traybake Salad

This salad is rich, sweet and a wee bit sticky! The feta is essential for cutting through the richness of the pomegranate molasses while the kale adds good crunch and freshness. Try roasting with some chicken thighs or serve with polenta mash for a heartier affair. 

You could also toss in some tenderstem broccoli for added greens and crunch. 

Serves 3 as a side.
