"A salad is not a meal, it is a style." -- Fran Lebowitz
Despite what you may have already read on this blog, I do actually like salad. I love the chicken, avocado, egg and bacon in a cob salad. I love feta cheese and olives in a greek salad. I love the ham and cheese in a chef's salad. You get the picture. Lettuce and/or greens by themselves are just boring. That's why I see all these pretty salads on Pinterest and want to make them. And I actually did make this one and it was a big hit.
I am the self-proclaimed salad maker for the holidays (along with desserts). That way I'll get something I know that I like. (You see, there is a method to my madness.) And we had a fun holiday family gathering at my in-laws house. I had to change from my standard autumn salad, to something a little more wintery, and here it was, from half baked harvest.
I love the different textures and how colorful and holiday-ey it looks. I will admit, my only hesitation about making this one was the pomegranate seeds. I do like pomegranate seeds and the last time I decided I wanted some, my kitchen ended up looking like a murder scene. And I lost about a half hour of my life trying to get all the seeds out of that baby. (Seriously, if someone has an easy way of seeding a pomegranate, I am ALL ears!) But my BIL came to the rescue and said he would provided the pomegranate seeds. Score!
I thought it was delicious, and there wasn't anything leftover, so I think it was a success.
