Salad Dressing
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon liquid honey
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Salad Ingredients
5 ounces mixed washed salad greens, about 4 big handfuls, or 4 cups loosely packed (I like 1/2 baby spinach and 1/2 mixed baby greens)
1 ripe pear (red or bosc)
2 green onions
2 tablespoons finely sliced mint leaves
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds

1
["Whisk together dressing ingredients in a small jar or bowl until smooth. Set aside.", "Cut the pear into eighths lengthwise, then half-inch slices. Thinly slice the green onions. Stack the mint leaves on top of each other, roll up, and slice thinly. In a large bowl, toss the salad greens, pears, green onions and mint.", "Add half the dressing (start with a little less than half, then add more to taste). You want the leaves very lightly dressed. Toss gently til everything is coated. Reserve the remaining half of the dressing for another purpose.", "Arrange on 4 individual salad plates, or in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.
2
(If you mix the pomegranate seeds in with the salad ingredients, they tend to sink to the bottom of the bowl and their stunning effect is lost. So for maximum visual impact - add them last.)

Serve immediately."]
