Pomegranate Spinach Salad
This is a light, very colorful salad.
Pomegranates are sometimes referred to as the Chinese apple or “jewel of the winter” in North America. Pomegranates are in season during early winter. You can freeze Pomegranate Seeds so you can enjoy them after their season has come and gone.
I have loved Pomegranates since I was a kid. Incorporating them into this simple Salad really makes the Salad look quite elegant and colorful.
