Just served this at a girls only "re-gift" Christmas gift exchange party and it got rave reviews! Make it easy on yourselves though, use jar pomegranate juice and oj. I also tossed in candied walnuts from TJ's, and already shelled seeds. Way easier! Must reduce pomegranate juice for the dressing though! Wonderful recipe!

OMG -- outstanding! The dressing is wonderful, and goes well with the cheese, nuts and pomegranate seeds. Definitely reduce the pomegranate juice, that is part of why the dressing is so good. I used walnut oil (because I had it), it paired nicely. I used one orange for the orange juice, and we like a lot of vegetables, so twice as many pomegranate seeds and 50% more lettuce worked just right for us. This is a salad made after our own hearts!
