Mustard Green And Pomegranate Salad Recipes

POMEGRANATE & PEAR GREEN SALAD WITH GINGER DRESSING

Steps:

• To toast the pecans, place them in a skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring often, until they're fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the heat and roughly chop them (no need to chop if you started with pecan pieces). Set aside.
• Arrange the arugula across a large serving platter (or bowl, but the salad looks prettiest on a platter). Sprinkle the chopped pecans and crumbled goat cheese over the arugula. Fan out your slices of pear and apple and arrange them across the salad in sections (see photos). Sprinkle all over with fresh pomegranate arils.
• To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until blended. Taste, and if it isn't quite zippy enough, add another teaspoon of vinegar.
• Wait to dress the salad until you're ready to serve (the dressing will wilt the greens over time). When you're ready, drizzle the ginger dressing lightly all over the salad (you might not need all of it). Serve promptly.

GRAPEFRUIT, MUSTARD GREEN, AND DATE SALAD

Steps:

• Stir together shallot and lime juice in a small bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk in oil, sugar, and salt.
• Cut peel and any white pith from grapefruit with a sharp knife, then cut sections free from membranes. Toss mustard greens with dates in a large bowl.
• Just before serving, toss greens with dressing and salt to taste. Divide salad between 2 plates and top with grapefruit sections.

PEAR AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Divide the lettuce between two bowls. Halve and core the pear, then cut each half in slices. Divide the pear slices and pomegranate seeds among the two bowls and mix gently.
• Combine the vegetable oil, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, mustard, honey, and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the dressing thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Pour the warm dressing over the salads and serve.

GREENS AND POMEGRANATE SALAD WITH MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place the salad greens and carrot strips in the salad bowl.

• Make the dressing by tossing honey, mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and brown sugar into a food processor. Give it a whirl.
• Add the vinegars and give it another whirl.
• While the stuff is zhuzzing along in there, add the olive oil slowly through the top chute.
• Dress the salad, experience intense yumminess.
