Pomegranate

It's pomegranate time. What a tasty fruit. My mom always buys pomegranates this time of year and we would either eat the seeds by themselves or add them to a salad. Here is a favorite salad recipe.

Christmas Salad

from the Favorites Ivory cookbook

1 head red leaf lettuce

1 head green leaf lettuce

2 large grapefruits

1 large pomegranate

1 large avocado

1 large pear

Dressing:

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons dry mustard

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup apple cider vinegar

2 cups vegetable oil

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Blend dressing in a food processor; refrigerate until ready to use. Tear lettuce into small pieces, set aside. Peel grapefruits and cut into sections, set aside. Seed pomegranate, set aside. Assemble salads on individual salad plates: place lettuce on plate, arrange grapefruit sections and pomegranate seeds on top, slice avocado and pear, put pieces onto each plate, then drizzle dressing over each salad and serve.

enjoy!
