Pomegranate Quinoa Salad

Pomegranate Quinoa Salad

Pomegranate Quinoa Salad is a festive yet healthy salad for the holidays. Pomegranate seeds give it a wonderful color pop and add fresh flavor and texture.

The salad gets some heartiness from the quinoa, and some freshness from the greens, and shallots. The dressing has an  olive oil base with apple cider vinegar and dijon mustard. Topped with a bit of feta cheese the combination is great!

Pomegranate Quinoa salad would make a wonderful lunch or a pretty salad for your holiday parties and meals. If you are looking for another seasonal pretty salad check out Apple Walnut Salad with Cheddar Croutons.

OMG this looks so incredibly scrumptious! Can hardly wait to make this! Is there another cheese you can use besides feta?

Thank you Laura. I think that you could used a white cheddar or monterey jack shredded on top or just skip the cheese and it will still taste great.

This is a wonderful salad! However, next time I’ll use a milder onion like 1-2 scallions. And the dressing is fantastic! Thinks for posting.

After my sister-in-law brought this to our family Christmas dinner, I had to have the recipe! This dish has quickly become a favorite and since it’s so easy to make, it’s a great dish to take to potluck events.
