  • Add the pistachios, cucumber and pomegranate seeds to the bowl with the butter lettuce. Toss with the salad dressing. Serve.

Notes

Makes side salads for 4 people. Double the recipe to feed 4 people large salads.
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.
