Pomegranate is usually in season from September through February making it a bright and delicious addition to all kinds of winter dishes.

Pomegranate seeds are loaded with nutrients. They are particularly rich in vitamin C and K. Pomegranates are also extremely potent in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. It’s the winter superfood!

I love making dressings with pomegranates because of its sour-sweet taste that brings a delicate balance when added to salads. It pairs beautifully with different greens such as kale, spinach, arugula, and mixed greens.

It also brightens up the entire dish making it a perfect dressing to serve at the dinner table.

In this recipe, we will be using whole pomegranate seeds to preserve all of its nutritional benefits. If you’re using a high-speed blender, such as Blendtec, it will all be blended nicely. If you only have pomegranate juice on hand, no worries that would work too.  

Quick tip on how to peel and extract the pomegranate seeds without leaving your kitchen look like a murder scene:

1.Slice the pomegranate into quarters.

2.Take a big bowl, put it in the sink, and fill it with water. Then take one sliced piece of pomegranate, place it in the water, and start separating the seeds .

3.The seeds will settle at the bottom of your dish and the rest of the pomegranate flesh will float to the top.

4.Scrape the top with a mesh strainer or your hands to remove all the particles.

5.Drain the water.

I’ve found this method to be the easiest way to extract the seeds and keep my kitchen mess-free.
