Blue Cheese and Pomegranate Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette


My household I’m sure is like many other households in that we have a pretty standard routine of dishes we serve.

There is always a protein, vegetable or salad and a starch. Very balanced.

Most of our meals are some combination of our database of the above mentioned three groups.

Since I moved home, many of the things I’ve made for the blog have become staples in the rotation.

This is one of my favorite salads and I always just assumed I had made it at some point and that was how it found itself in the rotation.

When I went to find the post on the blog because I needed the dressing recipe to send to someone, I realized that this had never been shared with the wannabe foodies.

Turns out, this recipe is actually one of my mothers.

So I’m stealing it from her to share with you.

Shhh… don’t tell her.

You will need…
1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped into bite sized pieces


Seeds from ½ pomegranate


¼ cup crumbled blue cheese


¼ cup pecans, roughly chopped


1/3 cup olive oil
¼ cup apple cider vinaigrette


1 tablespoon honey


½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Start by combining the lettuce, cheese, pomegranate seeds and pecans in a large salad bowl.

Then in a mason jar or small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.


Shake or whisk until completely combined.


Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, toss and serve.
