Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Pomegranate Vinaigrette: In a food processor, combine the pomegranate juice, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Pulse until well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, gently combine the chopped apples, baby spinach, pomegranate seeds, candied pecans, and crumbled feta cheese. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Dress and Serve: Drizzle the pomegranate vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated. Serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using toasted pecans instead of candied pecans.
If you don't have a food processor, you can whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together in a bowl.
This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the spinach from wilting.
Add grilled chicken or salmon for a complete meal.
