Gina this looks delicious! I love pomegranate thanks for sharing this recipe 🙂
What a great recipe for the thanksgiving table.
Beautiful and yummy, made for Thanksgiving and will make again for Christmas.
This sounds devine!
I was looking for a holiday salad to take to a Christmas party, and I decided to try this even though I hadn't worked with pomegranates before…it just looked so pretty. Needless to say, everyone loved it, and I love pomegranates now 🙂 Thanks Gina!
I was planning on serving a mixed green salad with goat cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette for Thanksgiving, but my husband has an aversion to goat cheese (so he says). I was looking for a replacement, when I stumbled across this recipe. It's perfect! We'll be serving this at our Thanksgiving table this year for sure :).
Serving this with goat cheese. Easy, quick, simple, healthy. Now what do I do with my leftover time?
The salad is a hit. Taste is amazing and presentation is beautiful. Easy to make for a Fall salad!
This was a total hit with my family. I added clementine orange sections to it just because I had a bunch (although I don’t think it needed an addition) and it was delish. I also roasted my pecans and used goat cheese bc had that in my fridge. It was very easy to prepare as well. I will be making it for a Christmas Party tomorrow and my family took the test run on it tonight and loved it!
A real pain to print this one. I tried to print just two pages — just the part with the recipe, and not the blah-blah — instead of all twelve pages, The vinaigrette ingredients were left out. So I had to highlight them and print a third page. Very inconvenient. I will avoid your recipes in the future. Your IT person should redesign this aspect of your web page.
So sorry you had an issue, did you click on the black print recipe box?
