Comments
We made Pomegranate Vinaigrette to dress a mixed green salad at a family gathering and everyone loved it. My grandson loved helping remove the pomegranate seeds and to sprinkle extra on top of the salad. Pomegranates provide a simple way to make an ordinary side-dish look and taste extra special.
