How to Serve Pomegranate Vinaigrette
I like to serve this salad dressing over a simple winter salad of mixed greens with cucumbers, walnuts and fresh pomegranate seeds. You might also try it on our Apple Cranberry Spinach Salad. Pomegranates pair well with arugula, spinach and kale and are especially tasty when combined with fresh orange segments, and feta cheese, too. Check out this article for more ideas about what to put in your salad.
