This was a lovely salad, although I would cut back on the lemon juice next time as I found it a bit too tart. I would also add a light sprinkle of blue cheese and some cashews to make it a bit more interesting. The dressing would not thicken for me, so I had to add a touch of cornstarch to it. I used my potato ricer to extract the juice from the pomegranate arils in one go - very simple.

Awesome salad - we didn't have enough lemon juice so we used orange juice - light and delicious!

I have not tried this recipe but plan to soon, it sounds excellent. A tip for Cathy and Courtney who dislike removing the pomegranate seeds.... Cut the pomegranate in half. Place in big bowl of water. Break off membrane (under water) which will float to the top. Then pour off the membrane, this is quick and easy!! Gwel in Wisconsin

Great recipe that was well-received. I used other reviewers' suggestions to buy the pomegranate seeds at Trader Joe's and juice them in a garlic press. Candied pecans were a great addition, and I also served this with sliced, cold chicken as an entree salad for lunch. Next time will serve with goat cheese, as I prefer a balance to the sweetness of the dressing.

Make sure you buy your pears a few days in advance to allow them to ripen (place in a brown paper bag).

I made this the day BEFORE Thanksgiving. It tasted really great served warm. I added feta cheese and pine nuts on top. I also served the dressing cold and it tasted really bland and not very special at all. So...served warm is the way to go! I used POM Pomegranite juice and got some pomegranite seeds from Trader Joes so I didn't have to seed it myself...well worth it!

I really liked this salad. It was simple but tasty. I would probably add a little more lemon juice next time.

Delicious! The pomegranate seeds pop in your mouth and the dressing is very good - mine was room temp. I also added carmelized pecans, which I HIGHLY recommend.

Excellent and easy. The pomegranate seeds give a nice crunch. I ate the dressing cooled as I took this to work but imagine warmed would be even better.
