Pomegranate Pear Salad
A simple, sweet, and crunchy fruit salad made with seasoned fruit and an easy lemon dressing. This is one awesome five ingredient side.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 large pomegranate seeds (arils)
- 1 large pear cored and chopped small
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- zest from one lemon
- 1/2 cup hulled pumpkin seeds pepitas
- 1 tablespoon honey or 2 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl and mix to combine.
- If your honey is a bit thick, you might want to whisk it with the lemon juice and lemon zest before stirring it into the fruit.
- Serve right away.
Notes
- You can use any kind of citrus you want. Lemon or lime would make it tangy and bright, but you could also use grapefruit, blood orange, orange, tangerine, or whatever other citrus you have on hand.
- If you change the type of citrus in this recipe, be sure to use the same kind of citrus juice as you do zest. You may need to adjust the honey to taste.
- To remove the pomegranate seeds (arils), I cut it in half and hit the back with a spoon - you can do this a day or two ahead of making the salad and store the seeds in an airtight container in the fridge.
- This is the easy healthy version of Dixie Salad, which you might also want to put on your Thanksgiving table this year.
