I think this makes a perfect holiday salad. I will be making it for Thanksgiving and will report back. Source: Food52. com / brigidc's. This is her description of the salad. Sweet, salty, tart, crunchy and spicy, this salad has perfect flavor and texture balance. The inspiration was pomegranate molasses, which I learned about when I worked on a Persian food class. I like how the molasses takes the acidic edge off the vinaigrette but it is still tangy and delicious. Be sure to try this no fuss, no muss recipe Recipe #446884 I made my own pomegranate molasses: Recipe #490458 It's easy and can be reduced to make a smaller amount. It can be stored up to 6 months.

Steps:
- 1. I definitely recommend making the vinaigrette a day or two before, it allows the flavors to really meld. I love making vinaigrettes in mason jars or the like, its just really easy. So go head and pour in the red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped shallot, dried oregano, salt and a little pepper. Refrigerate.
- 2. To plate I used a shallow bowl, piled on a few big handfuls of the baby arugula, half a pears worth for each plate and a good sprinkling of the pomegranate seeds. Are the colors gorgeous together or what?!?!
- 3. Give the vinaigrette a good shaking to combine everything before serving and drizzle just a bit over top. Finish with fresh cracked pepper.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe pears. If your pears are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a few days.
- To prevent the pears from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice or vinegar.
- If you don't have pomegranate seeds, you can substitute dried cranberries or chopped walnuts.
- This salad can be served as a main course or a side dish.
- For a more substantial salad, add some grilled chicken or tofu.
Conclusion:
This arugula, pear, and pomegranate salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy fresh produce. The combination of sweet pears, tangy pomegranate seeds, and peppery arugula is refreshing and flavorful. This salad is also a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Enjoy it as a light lunch or dinner, or serve it as a side dish at your next party or gathering.
