A Summer-ish kinda salad

I had a few friends over this weekend for a lite lunch.

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!
