john and I enjoyed this bright crunchy salad. I used frozen seeds. As soon as pomegranates come into season I buy extra just to freeze for when I find recipes like this off season.This brightened up my Menu #28849 menu, it is a dark meal and the salad gave brightness. Made for ZWT5. Thanks! ;) -
I am going to do Bibb or Butter lettuce and try poppy seed dressing. It reminds me of an almond and Mandarin midrange salad my mother makes. -
Great dinner. -

Wow, what a nice contrast between the tart pomegranate seeds and the sweetness of the oranges. Also, a very beautiful salad. -
Easy to prepare, and very light and refreshing - perfect for a hot day. Thanks for sharing! ZWT7

Excellent! I too used romaine lettuce (more like 3 cups) and had to use dried pomegranate seeds because fresh is not available this time of year. Gave it some crunch. Instead of light Italian dressing I used a bit of oil, added some dried Italian herbs and used the balsamic vinegar of course. I knew my BF would love this recipe too, and he said so. I forgot to add the celery (darn), and my photo software failed me last night so if I can't get it working again I won't be able to post a photo:( Part of an excellent dinner with a Caribbean soup. Thanks so much!
