Earlier, I was not very fond of salads. The description of a salad was just chopping a few raw vegetables, some salad leaves & mixing with salt & pepper. It was boring & uninteresting until my whole perspective of a salad changed when I realized my husband enjoyed salads & gave me ideas to turn a plain salad into a master piece. My attitude changed & I enjoyed inventing ways of making a simple salad into an appealing one.
In this salad, the pomegranate is the highlight. Enjoy this fresh & crunchy salad… J
