Hey hey it’s Tiffany from Creme de la Crumb back with another tasty dish for you! Today I’m sharing this fancy apple pomegranate salad with an incredibly delicious dressing!
Apple Pomegranate Salad
I think it’s gotta be the pomegranate seeds that give this salad that “fancy” feel. Probably because the instant you see pomegranate seeds on anything, you either see dollar signs (for those pre-seeded containers) or a lengthy amount of work and purple hands. Those of you who have shelled a pomegranate know exactly what I’m talking about.
De-seeding that pretty winter fruit can be a bit of a pain but soooo worth it! There’s nothing quite like those juicy little guys. Mmmmmmmm, so good!
I don’t know about you, but I always feel like I’ve done a good deed by eating a salad. I dunno what it is. Even when it’s loaded with croutons and creamy dressing I still feel like I deserve brownie points. This salad though, really is a healthy salad. Wait, you mean it’s loaded with flavor and still good for you?? Yep. That’s my kind of salad.
The salad dressing really tops off this whole salad with a lot of flavorful garlicky balsamic-y goodness. And a bit of sweetness from the honey. You’ll love it. Fix this salad as a side or top it with some strips of cooked chicken breast for a healthy and delicious main dish!
