Pomegranate Feta Salad

Pomegranate Feta Salad is the perfect blend of salty with the feta cheese and the sweet pomegranate seeds. This salad is appealing to the eyes and is a great salad for entertaining.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup pecans
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (10 ounce) package mixed baby greens
• 1 pomegranate, peeled and seeds separated 
• 1/4 red onion, sliced thin
• 1 (8 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 cup Olive Amelia Lemon Olive Oil
• 1/2 cup Olive Amelia Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. To make the candied pecans, pour the sugar in a small skillet and pour the pecans on top. Cook over medium heat until sugar melts and turns a caramel color, stirring constantly so that the nuts and sugar do not burn. Be patient! It takes a while for the sugar to start melting.
2. Once the sugar turns a caramel color, keep stirring to coat the pecans with it. Pour pecans onto greased wax paper to cool. Once pecans are cooled, break them into pieces.
3. Place the lettuce, pomegranate seeds, red onion, feta cheese, and pecan pieces into a large mixing bowl; set aside.
4. Whisk together the Olive Amelia Lemon Olive Oil, Olive Amelia Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. Pour over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
