Easy Fall Salad
An easy, colorful fall salad
Servings 4
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.
