Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad

As far as holiday salads go, this Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad is a true favorite. Incredibly easy, yet absolutely elegant, packed with so much flavor! 

Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad

It’s finally Friday again, and while I always love Friday’s, I am super excited today because it is our second post in our Holiday Progressive Dinner Series.

When I made this salad two months ago, I had no idea how often it would come to haunt my dreams and how many times we would make it again, and again, and …. yes. At least four times.

It is on our menu for both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Anyway…. we’ll get back to that in a moment.

Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad

Let’s just talk about this Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad. So much flavor. So fresh and delicious. Not only is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s so super easy to make too.

All the ingredients compliment each other nicely, and the dressing is absolutely incredible! The best part of this salad is, you can change it up and make it what you want, if you like. 

It’s the perfect salad for Christmas, but don’t be afraid to make it anytime!

Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad

Today we are being sponsored by Nielsen-Massey. Have you ever tried their products? O.M.G. Just amazing. Flavor like you have never had, and seriously, there is a difference. A great big difference. I have always been in love with their products, and anytime I can get my hands on some, I’m like a baking fool for weeks. That totally happened, by the way.

They sent me so many wonderful things to play with. Do you see all these goodies?

I got to try the Pure Lemon Extract, Pure Peppermint Extract, Pure Almond Extract, Organic Fairtrade Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract and Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. They also sent along a full color, absolutely stunning cookbook with some amazing recipes filling the pages.
Neilsen-Massey Extracts Flavors Vanilla

Have you ever tried baking with pure extracts? Nielsen-Massey has been crafting the world’s finest vanillas and flavors since 1907, which makes them total experts. It is evident in their all-natural pure flavors, they make with only premium ingredients. It is an experience you won’t believe until you’ve tried it. I remember the first chance I had to use their extracts years ago, I had always used imitation vanillas and other extracts.  I was given a bottle of their simple Pure Vanilla Extract, and I used it on some cupcakes I’d made dozens of times that I was making for my daughter’s Kindergarten classroom. (she’s in 10th grade now… that was a long time ago!)

I am not sure if I should admit those cupcakes never made it to school. We couldn’t stop eating them. There was such a difference, I swear even the moistness felt different but the flavor… it was unbeatable, it was amazing, it was a really intense vanilla flavor I can’t really describe, but I can assure you…. I’ve never looked back.

Nielsen-Massey Cookbook

Another super exciting fact about Nielsen-Massey is that they are Gluten-Free, Allergen-Free, GMO-Free and Kosher.  Seriously, there is not a single reason not to use them, they enhance everything you do with them. Oh, and that cookbook…. it’s just amazing! You NEED this cookbook.

I have a really amazing dessert recipe coming next week in our Holiday Progressive Dinner Series, using two Nielsen-Massey extracts. I am really excited to share that with you.

Be sure to stop by and check out all the recipes in this week’s edition of the Holiday Progressive Dinner Series. You can collect them all for a full holiday meal. Or check out my recipe from last week and collect an additional meal by grabbing all the recipes.

Instructions

To Make Pomegranate Orange Spinach Salad:

  1. Assembling a salad is not rocket science.
  2. On a platter, arrange the spinach covering the whole platter.
  3. Slice the oranges into chunks and evenly distribute throughout the spinach.
  4. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds all over.
  5. Distribute the thinly sliced figs all over the salad.
  6. Sprinkle with Feta on top.

    This salad is gorgeous. Any great tricks to quickly and stainlessly peeling the seeds out of the pomegranate?

    Also, Nielsen-Massey rocks! Love their Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract! Can’t wait to see what you made with all their extracts!

    Hello, the salad looks fantastic – my question is about the difference between the photo and the recipe. In the photo, to me, it looks like fresh figs- and the recipe calls for dates. I do have both on hand , would you please clarify? Thanks 🙂

      Figs. But we’ve used dates, which is why I assume I used it. Either way it’s delicious!
