Spring Mix Salad With Pomegranate, Honey Dressing and Toasted P
"This is a pretty recipe. The pomegranate is a beautiful tropical fruit with seeds that are crunchy and help give texture to the whole salad experience. You can change the dressing to your liking, but make sure you use a ratio of 1:3 acid to fat."

We just loved this salad, but I made a whole lot of changes to the recipe. First, I used raspberry vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, cut the oil down to a 2:1 ratio, and omitted the sugar. I used a romaine blend instead of spring greens (had it on hand), and added crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Definitely a salad that will be made again! -
ThoughtI'd give you a review :) I made this for Rosh hashana festival meal (Jewish new year) as pomegranate is one of the ffrits used to symbolise the new year being full of sweetnes. The salad was very good. I added 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice to the dressing. Thank you!
