    Pear Pomegranate Salad

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Crisp spring mix, topped with juicy pear, tart pomegranate, and creamy blue cheese pairs beautifully with a raspberry citrus vinaigrette for a winter salad that will excite your senses.  Make this Pear Pomegranate Salad in only 10-15 minutes for the perfect addition to any winter meal.

    The Perfect Winter Salad

    Winter isn't usually a popular time for salads, but there are wonderful ingredients to make up a fresh and healthy lunch that will satisfy and help to combat the mass of treats during the winter months.  I selected pear, pomegranate, and blue cheese.  I topped it with a citrus raspberry vinaigrette and it is heaven.

    What Do I Need To Make This Pear Pomegranate Salad?

    For the salad you'll need:

    • spring mix
    • 2 Bartlett pears
    • blue cheese
    • pomegranate seeds

    We'll go over the dressing ingredients next.

    Homemade Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing

    Making your own dressing is so incredibly easy.  And it tastes so much better than a store bought dressing.  All you need are a few ingredients and a blender.  For this dressing we'll be using:

    • raspberries
    • avocado oil
    • rice vinegar
    • lemon
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Throw all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.  That's literally it!  This dressing will keep in the fridge for about a week.

    After you've blended you are left with a creamy, sweet, and tangy dressing that is the PERFECT compliment to this fresh winter salad.

    Salad Assembly

    The assembly of this salad is pretty self explanatory - simply use the spring mix as your base.  Add sliced pears - the thinner the better for me.  Top with crumbled blue cheese and pomegranate seeds.

    Pro Tip: purchase pomegranate seeds already removed from the fruit.  These are usually found in the produce section in clear plastic containers.

      This salad looks so good -- I love anything pomegranite.

      I'd use this bracelet to count waterbottles...I always have such a hard time remembering to drink.

        I would count how much water I've consumed. I've been trying to drink more water and this would certainly be a very helpful reminder!
