Ok, so I wasn’t really planning to add this impromptu little salad to the blog. (And thus, my apologies for the lack of prep photos.)  But holy cow — it was too delicious not to share!

So allow me to introduce to you my new favorite autumn salad. It’s simple, full of great texture and flavor, and super-quick to prepare (literally took me 5 minutes!). But the best part is that it features three of my absolute favorite fall ingredients — pomegranates, apple cider, and candied walnuts. YUM!!!

Of course, feel free to add in any other favorite fall fruits (apples, oranges, grapes), cheeses (goat, blue, gorgonzola), greens (lettuce, arugula), or nuts you have on hand. But the pomegranate seeds and honey-cider vinaigrette are a must! :)  Enjoy!

  1. Soooooooo healthy!! I will have to try it. Looks delish!
    Thanks for sharing!!

  2. Looks like a tasty salad. I have been loving the cider-pomegranate combination lately… I made some pork chops with a POM-cider glaze. I bet the vinaigrette would be tasty with some POM juice added, too!

  3. Hi Ali,

    Thanks for posting this! I was scouring the internet looking for a salad to take to friends on Christmas Day to add to the dinner and I found yours which not only looks lovely but is healthy and I’m sure tasty too! (I’ll let you know the raves it receives.

    Just one question, how many does this amount serve?

    Thanks again for sharing this!

    Blessings,
    Irene

  4. I had an extra pomegranate that I needed to use up, and I LOVE your site, so I looked up pomegranate in your search engine and I stumbled accross this old little gem. Man, it is awesome! I’m totally not a salad person, but this is so tasty! I have had it for lunch every day this week :) Thanks!
