Pomegranate Pear and Arugula Salad image

A wonderful salad. The dressing is one of our favorites and we frequently serve it atop lettuce with raspberries, pear, and walnuts. Recipe adapted from a Trader Joe's recipe.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use a little more salt and pepper.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend it to others.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is so good that it makes the arugula taste amazing.
