When I stumbled upon this recipe, I knew I had to make it. Not only is it a superfood/anti oxidant rich salad, but it's got so many elements that contrast and pair so well, and it's delicious! Also, I finally found pomegranates in season! After removing the seeds (and a tiny bit of juice), I understand why a bottle of pom 100% juice is $5! This was a wonderful salad!

Your recipes look delicious and unusual, as always. I've never thought about pairing green olives with grapefruit. What an interesting combination. Your tagine also looks fantastic. I love Moroccan food. It's so warm and cozy and perfect for this time of year. I'm so excited about the countries you've been cooking from lately. You remind me that I need to check out more of the ethnic cookbooks from my library as I always see tons when I go!
