Ingredients:
vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons pomegranate juice or PAMA
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
salt
pepper
salad:
2 cups cooked wild rice, cooled
1 cup thinly sliced fennel
1 cup pomegranate arils
1 shallot, very thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, very thinly sliced
Directions:
Whisk together the vinaigrette in a small bowl. Set aside. Toss together the salad ingredients. Stir in vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature.
Quick Tips: If you have one, a mandoline makes quick work of thinly slicing the vegetables. I bought this inexpensive mandoline last year and it works well.
I like to make the wild rice for this salad the day before. Refrigerate it then fluff it with a fork before adding the remaining ingredients.

I like your pairing of pomegranate and fennel in this salad. The arils flecked throughout add a pretty splash of color as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful autumn dish. I've been meaning to do something with pomegranate and this looks like just the thing :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks gorgeous...I love the colours and I love that there's fennel in it as well (one of my favourite veges but always so expensive!) I think this would work out well for an NZ summer as well :)
ReplyDeleteOoh this is such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI recently tried my first fennel salad and LOVED it and I already adore pomegranates. Bookmarking this one for later!
The picture alone makes me want to try this. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious, I already saved this recipe! Looking at all the things you do with pomegranates I think I have to start experimenting a bit more. I remember one year mixing it into the red cabbage as a side dish for our Christmas duck, which was very yummy, too. But you're right, the texture and that burst of flavour make every dish so interesting!
