Giveaway Closed!
A couple of weeks ago my friend Leah was super nice and stopped by my office with a salad she had picked up for me at a nearby restaurant . (Friends bring you ice cream. Real friends bring you salad. Everyone knows that.) The restaurant had called it a tropical salad. It has lettuce, apple and mango, and a delicious dressing. I immediately began thinking of how I would recreate it.
Then the folks over at Pom Wonderful were kind enough to send me a couple of bottles of pomegranate juice, and I immediately knew I would be making the pomegranate version of this salad. Seriously, the pomegranate juice is kinda like magic when making a salad dressing.
Now, some of you might think this looks familiar. I recently posted a recipe for a lettuce salad that had a fruity nature to it. But really, that’s all these two have in common. I know I said that one was my favorite, but it now has competition.
Want to make this delicious salad at home? How about a case of Pom Wonderful’s new 8 ounce bottles to get you started? That’s right! I am giving away a case of this juice to one lucky reader. PS- there’s gonna be some more pomegranate juice recipes on this blog soon…so you definitely want to win!

Pomegranate and Apple Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
for the Vinaigrette:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup pomegranate juice
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons honey
salt and pepper to taste
for the salad
3 cups romaine lettuce (or lettuce of your choice)
1 apple, diced
1/2 mango, diced
1/4 cup pomegranate arils
optional handful of toasted nuts or croutons
Instructions:
for the vinaigrette:
Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Set aside to pour over salad.
for the salad:
Combine lettuce, fruit and nuts/croutons (if using) in a bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette (you will not need the full amount for this salad. Dress according to taste.) Serve immediately.
Note for Rosh Hashanah- you can make this with lemon juice instead of the vinegar. It’s not the same, but still delicious. You can omit the nuts, or use croutons.
Enjoy!
Thanks for reading! Hope it’s not too late to add this salad to your menu! And good luck with the giveaway! -Miriam

Last night I made Bosc pears roasted with a pomegranate juice/red wine/orange peel reduction sauce. The flavor of the sauce was delicious. I would love to win the Pom juice.
stitchinjoan says
I can’t give you an actual recipe that I use, mostly because I don’t use that many written recipes anymore. However, I do make a nice salad that contains pomegranate seeds. I usually use a balsamic vinaigrette, but I think that next time I will try your pomegranate dressing.

Pomegranate seeds dress up any simple cut fruit. Pomegranate seeds on simple cut melons look like little jewels. ๐

I’m not a huge pomegranate fan, love the taste, hate the seeds. So I don’t have many recipes (I do usually add the ones from Rosh Hashana to a salad for second day) but I would love to try some recipes with the juice.

What a refreshing salad. I have to say my favorite pomegranate recipe is a yogurt parfait that I make with pomegranates and ground pistachios. Perfect in every way!
Chaya Rachel N says
Pomegranate Glazed Salmon by The Shiksa in the Kitchen is absolutely delicious http://theshiksa.com/2012/09/06/pomegranate-glazed-salmon/. Also amazing is here Pomegranate Molasses Brisket http://theshiksa.com/2011/09/15/pomegranate-molasses-brisket/. I made both this Rosh Hashanah (as well as this great salad) and every mouthful was a treat.

Rochel says
I don’t have any recipes, that is why I am excited to try this salad!!!! I LOVE pomegranate and I love salad so having both sounds delish!!!! (I actually had pomegranate in salad before at a friends house, and that is where I learnt that you can actually eat the whole seed)
J B Meyers says
I don’t have a recipe to leave you… Like Rochel (above) I have never used pomegranate in a recipe… I know, right? But I am very allergic to mango. What else could you put in here?
Adina says
I don’t have a favorite recipe yet but would love to find one with POM juice!
