♥Pomegranate salad with Chicken and Almonds♥

This is my favourite winter salad!

I first experienced Pomegranates in California and this recipe was one that I found in my local US supermarket.
This salad is both colourful and tasty and has become a re-occurring family winter treat.

2 Pomegranates

½ cup golden raisins

1 pound cooked chicken breast, cut into 1” chunks

(I choose to fry the chicken in a bit of extra curry powder)

1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds

1 chopped apple

½ cup chopped or thinly sliced celery

1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley

¼ cup chopped green onions/spring onions

¼ to ½ teaspoon curry powder (optional)

1/3 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

In a large mixing bowl combine 

the pomegranate seeds, raisins, chicken, almonds, apple,

celery, parsley, onion and curry powder.

In a small bowl combine

By whisking combine the olive oil with the balsamic vinegar.

Pour the vinegar/oil into the chicken mixture and mix well.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

(Refrigerate until serving)
