P.S. I Love You Salad

Pomegranate Dressing

1/3 cup pomegranate juice 75 mL
¼ cup canola oil 50 mL
2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
2 Tbsp honey 30 mL

Mix ingredients and let sit for a minimum of 10 – 15 minutes. This allows the pectin
crystals to absorb some of the liquid, and therefore thicken the mixture. While dressing is sitting, prepare salad.

Salad

1 (10 oz) bag mixed greens 1 (284 g) bag
1 orange, peeled and cut into segments 1
1 pink grapefruit, peeled and cut into segments 1
½ cup strawberry slices 125 mL
½ cup raspberries 125 mL
½ cup blueberries 125 mL
½ cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped 125 mL
½ cup dark chocolate shavings* 125 mL

Rinse salad greens in water. Drain well. Place in large salad bowl. Add fruit, nuts and dressing and toss lightly. Divide salad among four large plates. Rearrange fruit to make attractive presentation. Divide chocolate shavings over top of each salad plate. Serve immediately.

* To get the health benefits, make sure you use dark chocolate (about 70% cocoa solids) and not milk chocolate.

Serves 4
