Submitted by Charlotte J

"This is an easy but elegant appetizer or use on a relish tray. The ruby arils look so pretty on top of the celery.These three ingredients go very well together! I came up with tonight to serve as a side with our soup."

Made a tray full of these little beauties & they were gone in no time, devoured pre-dinner at my recent Yuletide party! I was generous with the pomegranate, & everyone loved them (along with the chocolate bacon that I'd made ~ go figure)! Will certainly keep this recipe around!
