About this pomegranate salad
This pomegranate salad is so fresh, bright and beautifully colored. I used organic rainbow carrots to get even more wintry colors out of this dish. It makes a lovely side dish for dinners, lunches and even breakfast. I love pairing it with scrambled eggs in the morning.
Tips:
- Don’t toss in the dressing until you are ready to eat. The dressing will cause the arugula to wilt with time. If you want to make this salad last a few days, keep it in the fridge with the dressing on the side.
- Don’t feel like manually grating your carrots? Cut them into chunks and pulse in a food processor until they are finely chopped. I use a Ninja food processor that I love.
- Fresh pomegranate is best. Frozen is often dull and mushy.

Pomegranate + Feta Salad with Honey Pepper Dressing
Course: Dips/Dressing, SidesDifficulty: Easy4

minutesIngredients
6 cups arugula
2 cups grated carrot
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup crumbled feta
- Honey Pepper Dressing
2 tbsp raw honey
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp black pepper
Directions
- Combine the salad. Toss the arugula, grated carrot and pomegranate in a large salad bowl.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine all the ingredients for the dressing and mix/shake. If your raw honey is too thick, you can warm it just slightly to soften it.
- Bring it together. Once you’re ready to serve, pour the dressing over the salad and mix to combine. Don’t add the dressing until you’re ready to eat or you risk the arugula becoming wilted and soggy (see tips). Top with feta cheese and enjoy!
