Pear and Pomegranate Salad

This refreshing and nourishing salad is easy to prepare and bursting with flavor. It’s also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Many of you have probably never eaten dates on a salad before. But please give it a try! The combination of flavors is really amazing! I especially like the combination of walnuts and dates together.

This delicious Pear and Pomegranate Salad contains:

• Pomegranate, an amazing fruit which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and therefore protects against heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and even obesity.
• Pear, a high-fiber fruit packed with vitamins C, K, B2, B3, and B6. It also contains folate, an important vitamin needed for pregnant women.
• Dates, a miraculous fruit packed with energy, fiber, essential minerals, and vitamins.
• Apple cider vinegar, which supports weight loss and improves symptoms of diabetes. Read more here about the many uses of apple cider vinegar.
• Feta cheese, a good source of calcium and healthy fat.
• Olive oil, another healthy fat which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. It may lower risks of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
• Walnuts, one of my favorite nuts with an abundance of health benefits:

Make sure you cut the pears just before serving this salad, so they don’t become brown.
