White Bean and Pomegranate Salad
Pomegranates grow allllll over the place here in the Mediterranean. I had only had them once or twice in my life before moving here. Now, they are in the yard so I figured I had better find something to do with them. I love the tart kick of flavor they add to anything dish they are in, for me its usually savory salads. Its even worth the red stained fingers they give me. This white bean and pomegranate salad is not only BEAUTIFUL it is delicious and wildly easy to make. It pairs amazingly with a steak or some chicken or makes a wonderful lunch all on its own!
