This salad is a great way to use up leftover pomegranate seeds. I also like to add a bit of crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor.

I've never been a fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the pomegranate and the crunch of the pecans balanced out the peppery arugula perfectly.
