Jo's Yummy Salad

Isn't this absolutely gorgous. Look at those pomegarnates on the salad. This is a very tasty salad.

Ingredients:
salad dressing:
Blend in a food processor or blender.
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1-2 Tabelspoons minced onion
  • 1 Tabelspoon Dijon Mustard or to taste
  • 1/3 cup olive oil-( I would probably use way less. Maybe 1 Tablespoon oil with the rest water. )1/2 cup juice from mandarin oranges
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • Set aside.
Salad:
  • 10 cups of assorted greens, incuding some finely chopped kale.
  • 1 cup of a mixture of chopped nuts and seeds. I used walnuts, sliced almonds, pepitas and sunflower seeds.
  • 1/4 cup craisins
  • 1 apple diced-soak in lemon juice and water to keep from browning.
  • 1 can of pears in juice, raised and chopped- or fresh
  • Instead of juice from the mandarin oranges, you can use the pear juice to eliminate any added honey or agava nectar.
  • 1/2 of a pomegranate
  • sliced red onions
Directions:
  1. Arrange all vegetables and fruit on a platter. Make sure pomegranates are on the top. Just so pretty.
  2. About 10 minutes before serving drizzle dressing over the top of the salad.
  3. You can add or delete fruits and veggies according to the season.

this was really good and so beautiful.

Enjoy!!!
