Earlier this week, I was doing a little grocery shopping at Reading Terminal Market (if you're a foodie and you're coming to visit Philadelphia, don't miss a trip to Reading Terminal) when I stumbled across a pomegranate deal. These puppies were just $.50 a piece and so I splurged and bought four (they've been so expensive here recently that I haven't indulged at all this season).
But once I got them home, I realized that I had little clue what to do with them other than just eat them straight. I've been working my way through them, pairing them with this or that to see what works (pomegranate seeds with plain yogurt was a little too bitter for me). One match-up that worked beautifully was the salad you see above. The juicy outer part of the fruit gave the salad (romaine lettuce, goat cheese, sliced apple and a honey lemon dressing) a nice sweetness and the seed gave it a nutty crunch. And they were so good with the goat cheese. It's definitely worth a shot if you have a pomegranate around.
