Merry Christmas with Pomegranates on Top

Well, we hope everybody had a great Christmas. We sure did! Here's a picture of the carnage.

One new dish that we tried out was a lovely fruit salad (even if the pictures don't look so lovely, it tasted lovely). Cayenne found the recipe in the grocery store. We varied it slightly and this is our take on the recipe. Please note, the pictures don't do it justice.












Pomegranate Apple Salad
2 pomegranates seeds only (we had about 4 small pomegranates)
1 cup dried cherries
1 1/2 cups chopped roasted almonds
4 small apples cored and chopped
6 oz vanilla yogurt (about 3/4 cups)
1-2 tsp vanilla
1-2 cups cool whip

Mix the yogurt, vanilla and cool whip together. (Next time I'm going to try straight yogurt, but we didn't have enough to do that this time around.)

Mix together everything else. Fold in cool whip and yogurt mixture. Chill until service.

The original recipe called for raisins (ours were too hard and the cherries went very well with the salad), pecans, and instead of yogurt and cool whip it called for whipping cream, sugar and vanilla.
