This is the perfect winter salad that would be great on a brunch buffet, entertaining, or at a Sunday dinner!
Pomegranate, Pear & Feta Salad
We are big on salads anytime of the year and this one is filled with pears, pomegranate seeds, almonds, and feta all on a bed of green leaf lettuce. This salad is gorgeous and bright. Another plus is that it can be made ahead of time. Serve it with a simple white wine vinaigrette for one wonderful winter salad.
Enjoy!
What Ingredients do I need?
- Green leaf lettuce
- D 'Anjou Pears
- Pomegranate Seeds
- Sliced Almonds
- Cucumber
- Feta Cheese
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Substitutions and Variations

Kitchen Tips and Notes
- Buy Pomegranate Seeds in the frozen aisle. Use what you want and keep the rest in the freezer. (plus they are cheaper!)
- I buy sliced almonds for convenience, they are perfectly thin and delicate and it saves me loads of time. I also use them on yogurt, ice cream, and as a topping for many side dishes.
- Try to get firm, yet ripe, pears. It will hold up better in the salad.
- Serve it in a beautiful serving bowl for a wow presentation.
