Tossed Green Salad With Grapefruit-Pomegranate Dressing image

A wee bit of sprucing up brings this salad to center stage on your picnic or dining table. Instead of using Ocean Spray Ruby-Pomegranate Grapefruit juice as indicated in the original recipe, I substituted freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and pomegranate molasses (aka pomegranate syrup). Adapted from oceanspray.com.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 ruby red grapefruit, juice of, large
1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses, to taste
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar (I used unbleached white, honey or agave nectar would work well, too!)
1/4 cup mayonnaise (I've used both, the mayo' is homemade) or 1/4 cup plain yogurt (I've used both, the mayo' is homemade)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 ounces mixed baby greens
1 cup fresh blackberries
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • In a small non-reactive bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, black pepper, salt and sugar.
  • Add mayonnaise and oil. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Dressing is best prepared at least an hour in advance. Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, toss together all salad ingredients except for the slivered almonds.
  • Divide equally among 4 salad plates.
  • Drizzle the salad dressing over salads. Garnish with the slivered almonds.

This salad was a hit! The grapefruit-pomegranate dressing was tangy and refreshing, and the combination of greens, fruits, and nuts was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.
