Ingredients

Pomegranate Vinaigrette

  • 1/4 cup Pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Salad

  • 3 apples
  • 3 pears
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1 cup roasted pecans
  • bleu cheese crumbles I use Maytag
  • Pomegranate seeds

Instructions

Pomegranate Vinaigrette

  • In a large measuring cup, combine Pomegranate juice, honey, vinegar, and mustard. Whisk together until well-combined. Continue to whisk as you add in olive oil to emulsify. Pour dressing into serving container and set aside.

Apple Pear Salad

  • In a medium bowl, pour about 1/2 cup of Pomegranate Vinaigrette. Core and thinly slice apples and pears, adding to the bowl and tossing in the vinaigrette.
  • In another large serving bowl, combine salad greens, roasted pecans, bleu cheese crumbles and pomegranate seeds. Using a slotted spoon, remove fruit from dressing and add into the salad bowl.
  • Serve with Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing.

Notes

NOTES
  • Use Eating Apples such as Honeycrisp, Fuji or Sweetango for their crispness and juicy flavor. 
  • Use ripe and juicy, yet slightly firm pears such as Bartlett, Anjou or Comice. 
  • If you wish, you can substitute walnuts for roasted pecans.
