This salad is a great way to use up leftover pomegranate seeds. I also added some chopped pistachios for extra crunch.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. The dressing was too oily and the pomegranate seeds were too tart.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less honey in the dressing.
