This. You need this salad in your life. Pretty much immediately.

It started as an apple pecan salad, but quickly as I started making it, it morphed into this amazing Apple Pear Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette, roasted pecans, bleu cheese crumbles, and pomegranate seeds.

I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and supper.

And let’s be honest, after eating a Thanksgiving spread to beat the band, I really need to.

This salad is perfect anytime of year, but really, really shines during the holidays.

Won’t it be gorgeous for Christmas? All that beautiful green and red to brighten up the buffet?

And if you want to make it an entree salad rather than a starter or side, you can add baked chicken or salmon for a full meal.

Regardless though, I’m in love with it.

Here’s the recipe for my Apple Pear Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette. I hope you love it as much as I do!
