How to prepare delightful pomegranate and orange salad dressed with a balsamic and honey vinaigrette. This is a salad with few ingredients that can be served as a starter or as side dish. I love this combination of flavors. Sweet pomegranate seeds and orange chunks that bring freshness and acidity to coat the slightly bitter taste of a few leaves of curly endive. And you, do you like to add fruits to salty salads? What do you think of flavors combinations like this acid, sweet and bitter? Feel free to leave a message.

Serves: 4 Time: 15 m Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

Curly endive
Mesclun
3 or 4 oranges
1 large pomegranate

For the vinaigrette:

Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Honey
Salt and pepper

Directions

Wash the curly endive and mesclun salad and dry well using a salad spinner.
Cut the oranges into wedges without peeling them. Then peel each wedge with a knife and finally cut them into 2 or 3 chunks. This way it is easy to cut the orange into bite-size pieces already peeled, so their juices will mix with the other ingredients.
De-seed the pomegranate. Make a shallow incision and separate the pomegranate in two with your hands. Over a large bowl, hand held one half seeds down. Hit the skin with a wooden spoon so that the grains fall between your fingers. Repeat this step with the other half.
Place a base of mixed greens and curly endive on the plates, then distribute the orange chunks and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.
Prepare the vinaigrette. In a small glass jar, add 5 or 6 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 or 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of honey, salt and pepper to taste. Close and shake it vigorously to emulsify.
It is done. At the table, let each one to dress their salads. Enjoy!
