Notes
Yield: Makes side salads for 4 people. Double the recipe to feed 4 people large salads.
Variation: Avocado chunks, apple slices or feta cheese would all go well with a bib lettuce salad. For a creamier dressing, Greek yogurt with lemon juice. Add some fine herbs, like dill and chives.
Tips: Frozen pomegranate seeds will work here. Just de-frost them in the microwave and drain any excess water before using them.
I won't douse the salad in the dressing and often have some leftover.
You can use the salad dressing again if you keep what you don't use in the fridge in a container with the with the lid on. I use a small mason jar. It'll keep for up to 1 week.
