How to Make Avocado Salad With Pomegranate Drizzle

  1. **Make the Pomegranate Drizzle:** In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup pomegranate juice and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce until the juice has thickened to ⅓ cup (about 10-15 minutes).
  2. **Finish the Drizzle:** Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1 tablespoon corn syrup, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Set aside to cool.
  3. **Prepare the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 4 cups arugula, 2 cups romaine lettuce, 1 cup snow peas, and ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber.
  4. **Add Fruit:** Peel and segment 1 grapefruit. Cut each segment in half. Peel and slice 2 ripe avocados and coarsely chop them.
  5. **Combine & Toss:** Gently add the grapefruit and avocado to the lettuce mixture and toss lightly to combine.
  6. **Serve:** Drizzle the cooled pomegranate vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with ¼ cup pomegranate seeds for garnish and serve immediately.
