I’m all about salads that are covered in toppings and this one fits the bill! The little pop you get from the pomegranate seeds adds a lovely brightness to the dish.
I also like this salad because it’s quick enough for a weeknight meal. Grilling a steak is so much faster than cooking a thick chicken breast and steak is a nice switch up from the basic salads.
