Pomegranate Cafe - Ahwatukee, AZ : Super Green Kale Salad & Arizona Roll

Although it's new to me, Pomegranate Cafe has been open since 2009. I wish I had discovered this place sooner! It is super healthy and their food tastes great.

Interior
Cozy little cafe. A place where they might know your name if you go often enough. (Or at least your regular order.)

Pomegranate Green Tea (I think)
Sorry, I was here a few months ago and forgot what drink this was exactly. But it came in a neat little glass jar.

Raw! Super Green Kale Salad
From their website this salad is made of: "lemon-olive oil-garlic rubbed kale with seasonal chopped veggies, avocado, beet, sprouts, sunflower seeds, almonds, living caesar dressing and golden flax crackers."
The golden flax crackers were good. The kale tasted awesome...never had it rubbed in garlic. It did neutralize the bitterness. The ingredients were fresh and after eating this meal...you feel good!

The Arizona Roll
From their website these rolls are: "Nori seaweed spread with almond cheese, avocado & a rainbow of raw veggies - rolled into sushi. Served with ginger-tamari sauce, wasabi & a sweet miso cabbage slaw." The Meat-eater picked this dish and really enjoyed it!

Closer look at the roll
The ginger-tamari sauce was delicious. After dipping the sushi into the sauce, the flavors all came together. I could not believe how good this was. And everything is raw too!

I liked the ginger-tamari sauce so much that I added it to the salad. I am obviously no chef. Those flavors didn't go together as well as the intended meal. This made me realize that the chef knows exactly what they're doing with the seasoning. The Arizona Roll tasted the best with the ginger-tamari sauce and the Raw Kale Salad tasted best with the living caesar dressing.

Exterior
The Pomegranate Cafe is in the same shopping center as Trader Joe's and Safeway. If you want something super healthy and great tasting, I highly recommend coming here.
