A festive healthy Christmas holiday salad with an easy pomegranate Mason jar dressing sprinkled with spicy candied pecans, pear trees, sparkling pomegranate seeds, ruby red dried cranberries, and raspberries. Now, this salad says the holidays!
This worked out much easier than I thought it would. There is so much juice in those little boogers! And flavor. I did several at once so I had plenty of options in terms of use. Loved the high tech spoon and strainer method, it really worked beautifully!
