Really good, except I made a different dressing for this. I used ginger balsamic vinegar and orange infused olive oil. It was delicious and nice looking, too.

We served this for Easter. All 13 people really enjoyed it and there were requests for the recipe. Being pomegranates were out of season, I subbed dried cranberries.
