Pomegranate-Apple Green Salad

Pomegranate-Apple Green Salad

This salad was inspired by my Cran-Apple Spinach Salad. These days it seems easier to find pomegranate juice than pure cranberry juice, so I tried the switch, also substituting pumpkin seeds for the more labor intensive Candied Pecans. I think you'll enjoy this version just as much or even more than the original!
