This question, about a spinach salad that had pomegranate seeds in it, was asked about a year ago. I obviously missed it then, but since this thread is reopened, I’ll answer it now. The recipe is titled “Spinach Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette” and is from a Pillsbury booklet that was apparently done jointly with Ocean Spray.
Makes 8 servings
Dressing
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4 cup oil
2 T orange juice
2 T honey
2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 t salt
Salad
1 (10-ox) pkg bresh baby spinach leaves
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
1 T orange juice
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
-
In far with tight-fitting lid, combine all dressing ingredients; shake until well blended. Refrigerate.
-
Arrange spinach leaves on individual salad plates. Coat avocado slices with 1 tablespoon orange juice; arrange over spinach. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Drizzle salads with dressing.
In the accompanying picture, the avocado slices are arranged pinwheel fashion on the spinach leaves.
I found the result to be both festive and delicious. As I said last year, most of my family politely tasted it, but found it to be “weird.” “There are *seeds * in my salad.” My MIL spit out the pomegranate seeds – in their entirety, without eating the soft part – on her plate, at the dinner table.
