  • Pomegranate Vinaigrette (recipe below)
  • 6-8 Dried apricots cut into thin strips
  • Caramelized pecans or walnuts
  • Sliced red apples

Pomegranate Vinaigrette:

Note: you can use store bought pomegrate reduced pomegranate juice (see links in blog post) or reduce your own. To reduce your own simply simmer 1 cup juice in small sauce till it is reduced to a ¼ cup. I measure after 15 minutes and every few minutes after that. Just be sure not to forget about it! After it is reduced to a ¼ cup, allow to cool before using.
