Ingredients
  

For the dressing:

  • 1/4 cup POM Wonderful juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

To make the salad:

  • Mixed greens I like the herb mix
  • 1/4 cup pepita seeds

  • salt and pepper
  • Pomegranate-Lemon Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Put all of the ingredients into a blender.

  • Taste the dressing to make sure that the seasonings are balanced. Test the dressing on a lettuce leaf. You will see how it would actually taste on the salad.

  • I love pomegranates and use them a lot. But those little buggers can be hard to open up and get the seeds out. Here is what you need to do that: a wooden spoon.
