Instructions

  1. Place shallot, olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper in a jar or container and shake until well blended. 

Salad:

  1. Place lettuce in a bowl and top with pomegranate seeds. 

  2. Toss salad with some vinaigrette*** immediately before serving. 

Recipe Notes

* living lettuce heads are particularly tasty in this recipe, but green leaf lettuce will do in a pinch. 
** this dressing is on the acidic side of life. Taste the dressing before serving and top up with olive oil there's too much tang for you. I'd recommend adding a tablespoon at a time and resampling. 
*** there will be some vinaigrette leftover. Perfect for salads all week!
