For the freshest pomegranate juice, cut a pomegranate in half and press the seeds against a fine-mesh sieve, collecting the juice in a bowl below. Alternatively, you can pulse the seeds in a blender and then strain the mixture.
To prevent the pear slices from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a little more honey to taste. For a tangier dressing, add a squeeze more lemon juice.
This salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

    The fresh pomegranate juice makes all the difference. So worth the effort!

    I didn't have pomegranate juice on hand, so I substituted with cranberry juice and it was still very good!
