The Easy Fall Salad:

The salad itself is really easy: red leaf lettuce, sweet yellow bell pepper, green onions, caramelized walnuts, and pomegranate seeds. This salad is colorful, delicious and a cinch to toss together.

Easy Fall Salad: The Pomegranate Vinaigrette:

Pomegranates are a fall/winter fruit that we really need to take advantage of when in season. The seeds and juice are loaded with antioxidants and when it comes to color, well it’s spectacular. You have two choices when it comes to pomegranate vinaigrette, you can buy pomegranate syrup, or reduce pomegranate juice yourself until it makes a syrup. Both choices are delicious.

To Make Pomegranate Syrup Yourself:

You simply simmer 1 cup of pomegranate juice until it measures 1/4 cup. That’s it! Once it’s reduced you can use it for salad dressing.

Toss It All Together and You Have a Beautiful, Simple Salad.

Colorful, healthy and delicious.

Ingredients

This salad is quick to put together if you use a bottled pomegranate syrup. If you are reducing your own pom juice, give yourself an extra 30 minutes. If making your own, simmer one cup pomegranate juice in a small pan until it measures 1/4 cup.

Pomegranate Vinaigrette:

½ cup olive oil
¼ pomegranate juice syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon honey (omit if using store bought pomegranate syrup that is already sweetened
pinch sea salt

Salad:

4 cups red leaf lettuce
½ yellow bell pepper, diced
½ cup caramelized walnuts (see my link above) If you prefer plain walnuts that's fine too.
2 green onions (spring onions) sliced
½ pomegranate seeds

Instructions

For Pomegranate Vinaigrette:

Place all ingredients in a jar and whisk.

For salad:

Place all ingredients on a platter or in a bowl and toss with desired amount dressing. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste. Save extra dressing for up to a week in the fridge.

Notes

More tips: If making your own pomegranate reduction: place 1 cup pom juice in a small pan. Bring to a simmer and reduce to 1/4 cup. After 15 minutes, measure the juice. You will probably need to keep simmering, from here on out measure every five minutes until you have 1/4 cup reduction. Allow to cool before use.
