We decided to keep it simple tonight. Something like a hearty soup and asalad... Yes ... Even at times when the days are short and there's a chill in the air,a salad is welcome ...I rummaged around the refrigerator and put together this crisp, crunchy meal. That deep red ruby colour of pomegranate seeds added the vibrancy and elegance to the dish.Of course their plumpness and juiciness added that depth to the salad.
