Pear And Pomegranate Salad Recipes

PEAR AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl or jar, combine oil, vinegar, syrup, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Whisk until the mixture is combined (it may separate since you're not using an emulsifier like mustard. Just stir it again!**)
• Set the dressing aside.
• Place salad greens in a large bowl. Top with pear slices, apple slices, avocado slices, pomegranate arils, and your desired nuts. (And onion, if using.)
• Stir the dressing again, if needed. Drizzle salad with half of the dressing.
• Gently toss with two forks or salad tongs to combine, adding more dressing, as desired. (It will seem like a LOT of greens, but they will start to wilt once dressed.)

PEAR AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Divide the lettuce between two bowls. Halve and core the pear, then cut each half in slices. Divide the pear slices and pomegranate seeds among the two bowls and mix gently.
• Combine the vegetable oil, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, mustard, honey, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the dressing thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour the warm dressing over the salads and serve.
