Baby Spinach Salad

Found this recipe in a recent Rachael Ray magazine. I love pomegranate seeds and I also like salads with cheese, so I had to try it. It’s my new current favorite. It’s light, tasty and the pomegranate seeds add some nice flavor and color.

I bought the pomegranate seeds in a little package. I wasn’t brave enough to buy a whole pomegranate and try to extract the seeds myself. The nice man in the produce section of the market told me that trying to extract the seeds would make a big mess in my kitchen. The next time I see a whole pomegranate, I’ll buy one to see exactly how hard and messy it is.

The original recipe called for goat cheese.   I don’t care for goat cheese, so I used feta as a substitute and it was delicious. The salty cheese was a nice complement to the pomegranate seeds.
