Prep tip: Substitute dried cranberries or cherries for the pomegranate seeds for extra convenience. Ingredient tip: One 7-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce contains eight to ten peppers; you only need 11/2 peppers for this recipe. Use leftovers to add a smoky, spicy element to dressings or sauces (try them puréed into enchilada sauce).
Turkey, Pear, and Pomegranate Salad with Cranberry-Chipotle Dressing
Instructions
- In a blender, combine olive oil, chipotle peppers, cranberry sauce, and salt. Purée until smooth, adding apple juice as needed to thin. (Makes about 2/3 cup.)
- In a large salad bowl, combine greens, turkey, onion, pecans, and feta cheese. Drizzle just enough dressing over salad to lightly coat, and toss gently to mix. (Refrigerate additional dressing in a tightly sealed glass jar.) Divide salad among four plates; top each with pear and pomegranate seeds, and serve immediately.
