I found a Pear & Pomegranate Salad in Chatelaine that I thought I'd give a try - I'm glad I did...
It accomplished everything I wanted it to: It was lite, tasty, fresh and very 'summer-ish!'
Ingredients:
6 Bartlett pears
3 tbsp lemon juice
6 cups mixed greens
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Warm Vinaigrette:
1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil
4 tbsp pomegranate juice
4 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp grainy mustard
4 tsp liquid honey
salt & pepper
- Core pears and thinly slice; toss with lemon juice. Make ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to four hours.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan, whisk together oil, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, mustard, honey, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking, until thickness of syrup; about two minutes.
- In a serving plate arrange the pears and the mixed greens. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the pears and salad. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
Stay Healthy!
