3 3/4 stars. This is a beautiful looking healthy salad! It tastes slightly healthy. I used baby spinach and shallots instead of onion. I toasted the chopped walnuts in a dry pan before adding them. I used sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil and I added a little white sugar to the dressing out of preference but don't recommend it. Dont leave out the pomegranate seeds! NOTE: To seed a pomegranate, cut off the crown and score 4 times in pith then submerge in a pot of cold water and pull apart. The seeds will sink while the pith will rise to the top. I won't be making this again as we didnt enjoy it very much. Made for Think Pink Tag.
