Green Salad With Pomegranate Food

GREEN SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, and pomegranate molasses; slowly whisk in olive oil to form an emulsion. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
• Place greens and pomegranate seeds in a large bowl; drizzle with vinaigrette and toss to combine.

GREEN SALAD WITH TANGERINES AND POMEGRANATE SEEDS

Steps:

• Whisk together the tangerine juice, garlic and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Slowly stream in the olive oil while whisking.
• In a large bowl, combine the kale, tangerine segments and walnuts. Toss with some dressing and season with salt.
• Transfer the salad to a serving platter and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the top. Serve.

POMEGRANATE, ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• To make vinaigrette, combine molasses, lemon juice, honey and vinegar in a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while you whisk to emulsify. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Toss salad ingredients together and dress with the vinaigrette.

PERFECT POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut and seed the pomegranate.
• Thinly slice the shallot. Thinly slice the apple (and toss it with 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar if desired to prevent browning).
• Toast the pecans (don't skip: this brings out the nutty flavor). Alternatively, make glazed pecans.
• Make the Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing or Pomegranate Vinaigrette.
• Place the greens on a platter. Top with the pomegranate seeds, sliced shallot, toasted pecans, and goat cheese or feta cheese crumbles. Toss with the desired amount of dressing to taste. (Store the extra dressing refrigerated and warm to room temperature and whisk again before using.)

POMEGRANATE & PEAR GREEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• To toast the pecans, place them in a skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring often, until they're fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the heat and roughly chop them (no need to chop if you started with pecan pieces). Set aside.
• Arrange the arugula across a large serving platter (or bowl, but the salad looks prettiest on a platter). Sprinkle the chopped pecans and crumbled goat cheese over the arugula. Fan out your slices of pear and apple and arrange them across the salad in sections (see photos). Sprinkle all over with fresh pomegranate arils.
• To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until blended. Taste, and if it isn't quite zippy enough, add another teaspoon of vinegar.
• Wait to dress the salad until you're ready to serve (the dressing will wilt the greens over time). When you're ready, drizzle the ginger dressing lightly all over the salad (you might not need all of it). Serve promptly.

GREEN SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE AND MANDARIN

Steps:

• Mix all greens together in a large salad bowl, adding more lettuce if need be.
• Add pomegranate seeds and mandarin orange pieces.
• Mix in enough oil and vinegar salad dressing to taste, drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
• Toss lightly and enjoy!

PEAR AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl or jar, combine oil, vinegar, syrup, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Whisk until the mixture is combined (it may separate since you're not using an emulsifier like mustard. Just stir it again!**)
• Set the dressing aside.
• Place salad greens in a large bowl. Top with pear slices, apple slices, avocado slices, pomegranate arils, and your desired nuts. (And onion, if using.)
• Stir the dressing again, if needed. Drizzle salad with half of the dressing.
• Gently toss with two forks or salad tongs to combine, adding more dressing, as desired. (It will seem like a LOT of greens, but they will start to wilt once dressed.)

MUSTARD GREEN AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Toss mustard greens, radishes, and green onions together in a large bowl. Top with pomegranate seeds.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar together with a fork or whisk and pour over salad.

POMEGRANATE PEAR SALAD

Steps:

• Toss the salad greens and onion slices together in a bowl.
• Cut each pear in half and remove the core. Lay one pear half, flesh side down on a cutting board and make cuts from about 1/2-inch from top to the bottom of the pear. Press lightly on the pear to fan it out then slide your knife beneath it and transfer it to the salad greens. Continue with the remaining pear halves.
• Spoon the pomegranate arils, blue cheese crumbles and the candied pecans on the salad greens.
• Combine all the ingredients in a small jelly jar and shake vigorously to combine.
• Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top the salad or on individual servings.

TOSSED GREEN SALAD WITH GRAPEFRUIT-POMEGRANATE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small non-reactive bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, black pepper, salt and sugar.
• Add mayonnaise and oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Dressing is best prepared at least an hour in advance. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• In a large bowl, toss together all salad ingredients except for the slivered almonds.
• Divide equally among 4 salad plates.
• Drizzle the salad dressing over salads. Garnish with the slivered almonds.

CHRISTMAS POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Toss leafy greens, pomegranate seeds, blue cheese, and walnuts together in a medium-sized salad bowl. Add cranberry vinaigrette just before serving.

GREEN LEAF LETTUCE, POMEGRANATE, AND ALMOND SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper until sugar and salt are dissolved, then add oil in a steady stream, whisking until combined.
• Combine lettuce, watercress, and half of pomegranate seeds in a large serving bowl. Toss with just enough dressing to coat, then sprinkle with almonds and remaining pomegranate seeds.
