Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits. They are often overlooked because of the time it takes to collect the seeds, but if you can have some patience to gather those delicious arils, you will be oh so happy you did. This salad is one of my very favorites to make and enjoy. This also serves well on top of softened cream cheese with chips or crackers, topped on a bed of fresh greens.
Spiced Pear and Pomegranate Salad
- 2 cups pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup diced fresh pears
- 1/4 cup pumpkin pepitas
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cloves
Mix together pomegranates, diced pears, and pepitas.
In a separate bowl, whisk together honey and lemon juice with spices. Drizzle mixture over fruits and toss lightly, being careful to not smash the pears.
Serve immediately as a side, or served on cooked fish or chicken.
