"Instead of relying on fat for flavor, this fresh salad uses varied tastes and textures to impress guests: crisp, peppery arugula; tart, crunchy pomegranate seeds; and rich, slightly sweet pecans. From epicurious."

Just made this and loved it! Thank you for a fast and delicious recipe for a weeknight dinner! -
Delicious and healthy and simple to prepare. No fresh pomegranate seeds are available this time of year and I substituted dried pomegranate seeds. Interesting combination of flavors. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Reviewed for TOTM.
