- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
Apple cider dressing:
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
- Make the dressing: in a small bowl, stir or whisk together the dressing ingredients.
- Mix the salad: add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Drizzle as much of the dressing as preferred on top and toss to mix.
