December offers a small window of opportunity to use pomegranates and clementines, so we created a salad featuring these two seasonal fruits. Ingredients:
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup sugar |
1 cup vertically sliced red onion |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 teaspoon dijon mustard |
remaining ingredients |
8 cups gourmet salad greens |
2 cups clementine sections (about 6 clementines) |
3/4 cup spiced walnuts |
6 tablespoons pomegranate seeds |
Directions:
1. To prepare onions, combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Reserve 2 tablespoons vinegar mixture. Combine remaining vinegar mixture and onion in a small bowl; cool to room temperature.
2. To prepare dressing, combine reserved 2 tablespoons vinegar mixture, orange juice, oil, and mustard; stir well with a whisk.
3. Combine dressing and salad greens in a large bowl; toss well. Divide salad greens mixture evenly among 6 salad plates. Top each with 1/3 cup clementines, about 2 tablespoons onions, 2 tablespoons Spiced Walnuts, and 1 tablespoon pomegranate seeds.
4. (Totals include Spiced Walnuts)
