Absolutely delightful salad. Will definately make again as everyone loved it. I don't usually change a recipe the first time i make it but as this is a winter salad, I thought I'd go with a little lettuce, spinach and small baby bok choy leaves. I do love a combination of greens in my salads. I sprinkled very lightly with candied almonds on top. A real hit
I made it three times within 2 weeks. Used strawberries instead of pomegranate seeds though. The last two times I made it, I used iceberg and butter lettuce so it wasn't so bitter. I also put raspberries in it along with the strawberries and pears. (raspberries start to break down, but still good) Absolutely wonderful, the dressing is perfect. Great summer recipe!! LOVE this recipe!
I have not tried this recipe but plan to soon, it sounds excellent. A tip for Cathy and Courtney who dislike removing the pomegranate seeds.... Cut the pomegranate in half. Place in big bowl of water. Break off membrane (under water) which will float to the top. Then pour off the membrane, this is quick and easy!!
