food nut. As a graduate student in science I lived on fruits and salads most of the time. Time always has been the most important factor in food preparation for me. Nutritive value, taste, flavor, color, and texture in a salad are very important to me as I look at the salad as one wholesome meal. That is what this salad is. I have a pomegranate tree in my yard. Pomegranates and all other fruits are easily available in grocery stores. Pomegranate seeds remind me of red rubies and garnets. Walnuts are rich in omega 3 fatty acids (2.6 grams per ounce). Saffron adds color and flavor. This salad has everything one needs to be energetic and healthy. What more can you ask for in a salad?

Ingredients
1 cup California pomegranate seeds
1 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blackberry
1 cup California dates (chopped coarsely)
1 cup dehydrated, sweetened cranberries
1 cup California raisins
1 cup dried apricots
2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
A few saffron threads
2 cups low fat plain yogurt
1 teaspoon dried red Chile flakes (optional)
3 cups toasted California walnuts
Directions
Dump all the ingredients except the walnuts into a salad bowl. Mix thoroughly with wooden salad spoon. Let the salad sit at room temperature for an hour for the fruits to absorb the juice and the flavor to soak in. Dry roast the walnuts on a heavy skillet over medium high heat to bring out the flavor - about 2-4 minutes. Garnish the salad with the toasted walnuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

I meant to give it four stars, but something went wrong. I tried this and it was very good and I will make it again. I liked the addition of chili flakes too.
