Salad with Pomegranates and Pecans

I love adding pomegranates to my salads, they are  juicy with a slight pop when you bite into them! I usually bring this salad to potlucks or parties because it’s so colorful and easy to whip up, and I always get compliments! A simple yet elegant fall or winter salad, perfect to serve as a first course for the holidays, or a simple side dish or lunch.

This was one of the first recipes I posted back in 2008 (wow that’s over 10 years ago!) when I started blogging and didn’t even have a good camera. It’s so hard to find those older recipes now because I have been rephotographing them as the years passed, with better photos and instructions. I always change the date to bring the post to the top so you can all see them, as I have thousands of recipes here now!

Meal Prep

Want to make this for lunch? You can make the dressing ahead, it will stay fine refrigerated in an air tight container for 2 weeks. Simple halve the salad ingredients and separate in 4 meal prep containers. If you wish you can add grilled chicken or fish on the side for more protein.

Variations

  • Blue cheese or goat cheese can be used in place of gorgonzola
  • You can swap the pecans for candied pecans to really take this salad over the top!

Are pomegranate seeds healthy?

Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. The majority of that fiber is found in the white seeds hiding beneath the pockets of juice.
