Green Salad with Pomegranates & Fig Dressing Recipe

by Yael Adar 


This salad recipe is an adaptation of a recipe that I first tasted at a friend’s house. The dressing is purely my invention and the combination of pomegranates in the salad and the fig dressing make this a very festive salad. I recently served this on Rosh Hashanah with great success.

Preparation:
 

1. Wash and dry the lettuce, (greens), and scallions.

 

2. Slice the lettuce and scallions and place in a large bowl.

4. Cut the pomegranate in half and remove the seeds, making sure to remove the thin white membranes.
