Mixed Greens with Pomegranate Lemon Dressing

By AzWench

Ingredients

• For the dressing:
• 1/4 cup POM Wonderful juice
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• To make the salad:
• Mixed greens (I like the herb mix)
• 1/4 cup pepita seeds
• 1 pomegranate
• salt and pepper
• Pomegranate-Lemon Dressing

Preparation

Step 1

Put all of the ingredients into a blender.

Give the blender a whirl. Isn’t that a gorgeous color for a salad dressing?

Taste the dressing to make sure that the seasonings are balanced. Test the dressing on a lettuce leaf. You will see how it would actually taste on the salad.

I love pomegranates and use them a lot. But those little buggers can be hard to open up and get the seeds out. Here is what you need to do that: a wooden spoon.

Slice the pomegranate in half. Give it a gentle squeeze to loosen up the seeds.

Then turn it over, and beat it with the wooden spoon. Works like a charm. Every time.

And there you have a bowl of lovely pomegranate seeds.

Arrange some greens on a plate and scatter some pomegranate seeds and pepita seeds on top of the greens. Drizzle some dressing on top and season with salt and pepper.
