No fault of the recipe, but it dawned on me the other day that I don't care for the texture of pomegranate seeds although I love the flavor of pomegranate. Next time I would make sure to use a better quality bleu cheese instead of the sub-standard grocery store brand I used (what was I thinking?!) Good combination of flavors though. I didn't do the salad justice this time as I usually do using my normal salad making procedure of fresh *local* quality ingredients. Reviewed for Veg Tag October.
