Pear and Pomegranate Salad is a simple salad with feta cheese, pears, almonds, and pomegranates over a bed of fresh spinach.
Is there any fruit more festive than pomegranate this time of year?! It just makes me think of Christmas! This Pear and Pomegranate Salad is perfect for holiday parties and entertaining.
It’s pretty, delicious, and healthy! You can really customize it to your liking–sometimes I use feta cheese and sometimes I use gorgonzola. I’ve tried it with several kinds of nuts as well and it’s always delicious!
I recently shared this recipe on Studio 5 in Utah. Watch my video demonstration HERE .
