I think I’ll make this this weekend for Friendsgiving… but this doesn’t make sense to me! … 1 orange, segmented, plus the juice squeezed from the pulp
One orange? Obviously, you don’t squeeze the segments. I can make this work, just a strange description.

Made this for Christmas Day dinner. It was delicious! Everyone loved it. We love salad and this was a nice twist of ingredients for a special meal.

I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner party for 20+ people. Everyone loved it. And it was so beautiful. It held up really well even though it was dressed ahead. That’s a wonderful feature.

I doubled down with the fresh pomegranate, oranges, pecans.  The salad is simple and everyone loved it.  My wife is a salad freak and she raved about this one.

FANTASTIC! Easy to whip up, light, crunchy and healthy. This salad goes perfect with a heavy roast or ham for the holidays! The dressing is Devine !!!!!
Thanks Katie

Great salad.  I use pomegranate seeds often in salads.  People always love them. However I recommend using fresh pomegranates and seeding them yourself.  I tried purchasing them seeded once and found them to be a bit hard, less juicy & less tasty.

I’m giving this a four because the pomegranate seeds were a real turn off to my guests. The flavor was great, but I would increase the oranges and skip the pomegranates.
