A refreshing salad, good any time of the year. One can substitute blueberries for the pomegranate seeds, and it’s really nice with arugula instead of romaine, if you like spicy greens.

Ingredients
1 head of romaine lettuce
1 pomegranate
3 ounces goat cheese, very cold
2 ounces champagne vinegar
3 ounces grapeseed oil
salt and pepper
Directions
Discard the outer leaves of lettuce, if they are icky – you want the more tender leaves underneath. Break each leaf into very small pieces – the smaller you make the pieces, the more elegant the salad appears. Place the lettuce in a salad bowl.
Cut the pomegranate in half and use a fork to pick out the seeds. Let them fall directly into the salad bowl.
Crumble the goat cheese into the salad.
In a jar, mix together the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper, put the lid on top and shake it up. Pour onto the salad, toss and serve up individual portions. Ooh and aah, then enjoy!
Serves: 5

yum. yum. yum. yum!
Just be careful with the pom juice. It does not come out. Ever. But that looks good enough to risk it!
I am dying for some of that salad. Too bad I’m also dying. And by dying I mean still in bed nursing a stiff neck. But that salad might be tempting enough to get me to the grocery store. I said might.
Sounds delish!!!
Happy New Year dear one
Hugs and God bless

That is mouth watering, and I can tell you it’s only going to serve TWO people tonight.
Happy New Year Nanny!
Thanks for the well wishes, Venom. Happy New Year to you, too!
I was just going to comment on how your readers are sending in so many cheese recipes in response to my recipe that used ground goat meat and now things will be more gentle in your recipe feature…but then I read the first comment from Muse Swings!
Yeah, I somehow suspect that any recipe calling for burnt goat heads will blow yours out of the water on the horror scale. 🙂
I have to do some investigating – There’s an article in today’s TBT about a market that caters to folks from the Carribean on Africa. They search out and sell exotic foods from the homeland. One of the items they stock is burnt goat heads. Yes they do. I’ll pop over there next week and get a recipe.
Burnt goat heads? Yikes.
