Pomegranate Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, canola oil and honey. Pour over salad.
Salad
- Rinse salad greens in water. Drain well. Place in large salad bowl. Add fruit, nuts and dressing and toss lightly.
- Divide salad among four large plates. Rearrange fruit to make attractive presentation. Divide chocolate shavings over top of each salad plate.
* To get the health benefits, make sure you use dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids) and not milk chocolate.
Chef’s Tip: A few great tips for salads:
– Make sure your greens are dry, so the dressing will cling to the greens.
– When making dressing, slowly add canola oil to the juice. The honey helps to thicken the dressing and keep it from separating.Nutrition Tip: Make vegetables and fruit the focus of your plate. When visually dividing your dinner plate, fill half the plate with vegetables, a quarter with grain products and a quarter with meat or alternatives.
