    How to make salad dressing

    Salad dressing is so simple. I complemented the salad with extra virgin olive oil mixed with honey, balsamic vinegar, and just a dash of salt. Your salad ready to go! Eat it by itself or serve it alongside a grilled steak, pork chop or chicken.

    Not a fan of balsamic vinegar? You won’t be disappointed if using dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice and white wine vinegar for this salad instead. You can refer to this Honey Mustard dressing salad recipe for exact proportions of that dressing.

    How to remove seeds from the pomegranate

    I love pomegranates for their sweetness and tons of nutrition they provide to our bodies. To remove seeds from the pomegranate, place a deep bowl into the sink,  quarter the pomegranate, tore it open and then using your hands gently nudge the seeds out into the bowl.

    Are pomegranate seeds edible?

    It’s also perfectly safe to eat pomegranate seeds. As a matter of fact, they are a great source of fiber and potassium. They promote cardiovascular health and help reduce blood pressure. And they taste pretty good too.

    How to check whole pomegranates for ripeness

    I bought whole pomegranates, even though you can also get ready to go seeds. When buying actual fruit, I always check them for ripeness by examining the outside of the pomegranate – the skin should be dark, dry and not soft when squeezing with your fingers.

    Softness indicates that the peel is still too thick and the seeds won’t be ripe enough – they will be white, instead of red.
