Ingredients
Pomegranate Salad
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¾ cup pepitas
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 4 oz. prosciutto
  • 6 oz. spring mix
  • ¾ cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 green pear, sliced or chopped
  • ¼ cup gorgonzola cheese crumbles
Vinaigrette
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • Juice of ½ a lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. On rimmed baking sheet, spread your walnuts and pepitas. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cinnamon and cayenne.
  2. On a separate baking sheet, spread the prosciutto. Place the pans with the prosciutto as well as the walnut + pepita mixture in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the nuts are toasted and the prosciutto is crispy.
  3. Make your vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, and lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile, assemble the rest of the salad. In a large bowl place the spring mix, pomegranate arils, and pear. Add the nut mixture and prosciutto, drizzle with the dressing, and toss to combine.
  5. Serve immediately topped with gorgonzola cheese.
  6. Enjoy!
