Pomegranate Pear Salad image

AWESOME. . .love this stuff. I buy the pomegranate seeds ready to go at Trader Joe's, but if you don't have the luxury of a TJ's nearby, here is a great tip for peeling pomegranate -- score the skin of the fruit and submerge in a bowl of cool water, peel underwater - the seeds will fall to the bottom, the peel and that papery membrane stuff will float to the top and can be skimmed off. Note that cooking time is marinating time. Found on Let's Eat.

I think this salad would also be delicious with dried cranberries or currants instead of pomegranate seeds.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears left over from baking and this is a great way to use them up.

I used a pre-made pomegranate vinaigrette dressing and it worked perfectly.

I didn't have any walnuts on hand, so I used pecans instead. They worked great!

Perfect fall salad! The sweetness of the pears and the tartness of the pomegranate seeds are a perfect match.
