Description

This festive-looking salad has holidays written all over it. This salad tastes and looks fancy, but as you'll see, it's easy to put together. This dish is also great for any occasion when you want to put out what I call a Show Off Salad.

  • 3-4 cups mixed greens (like romaine, kale, spinach, arugula, chard) washed and dried.
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 small cucumbers chopped
