Pomegranate and Apple Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

September 13, 2012 by overtimecook 63 Comments

 

 

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.

    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.

    LOVE this recipie–definitely want to try to make it for RH- looks refreshing and delicious, very festive, and reminds me that summers almost over:( I happen to love pomegranates and when they are in season, I eat a whole one for snack! ( I hope you have one of those amazing devices that seeds it) I love the way they taste in salads and especially fruit salads ( with kiwi, mango…) I am going to try to make that pomegranate sorbet–looks delicious too!! Thanks for all the awesome recipies I already made so many things for Y”T with the RH roundup recipies… i just keep checking my computer for more! keep them coming!!!

    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.

    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.
