The holidays are over along with tables full of beautiful festive food. While my body is craving clean, healthy raw food, my mind still is looking for beauty. Time for a festive salad! Oranges, pomegranate, pecans and greens topped with a orange chia seed dressing. Quick, festive and delicious!

Good morning! I nominated you for an award http://eathealthybehappy.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-101-blog-award.html
WOW! this looks really delicious, and colorful! i always feel the need to add lots of different colors to my food, otherwise i feel like my meal is incomplete!
Thank you so much!!
So…can you eat the hard part of the pomegranite seeds, the “seed” part I guess you would say.
Yes…you can eat them. They are a little bitter so I don’t crush them when I eat them.
That is one really nice looking pomegranate salad!
Wow that looks beautiful!
I made this for dinner last night and if I do say so myself it looked as lovely as your photo. Pomegranates are wonderful in salads. First time I used chia as well. Beautiful recipe and photo. Thanks
looks great! yummy!
This looks just beautifully delicious! I want to make it for a dinner this weekend and am trying to figure out how much I need to make…there will be twelve at the dinner. How many portions does your recipe serve?
Thanks,
Brye
Most recipes here normally serve 4. You can get a good estimate by looking at how many cups of ingredients are in the recipe and then figuring how big your servings would be.
How many calories per serving?
Megs, You would have to find a calorie calculator on line and enter the ingredients to find that information.
