Moroccan Salad with Pomegranates, Oranges, Dates, Almonds and a Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette

This salad is light and refreshing with oranges, pomegranate seeds, thinly sliced red onion, chopped dates and toasted almonds.  I made a vinaigrette and added a pinch of cardamom and used pomegranate balsamic vinegar, but you could also use balsamic or sherry vinegar.  Trader Joe’s carries fresh pomegranate seeds when they are in season which make them very easy to add to a salad or sauce.  Trader Joe’s also has toasted almonds so you save the step of toasting them.  It would make a great summer salad with some grilled chicken or salmon.  I should be a paid marketer for Trader Joe’s for all the publicity I give them!  I do love their great quality products.  Click here for the recipe….
