Pomegranate Dressing And Green Salad

Pomegranate Dressing And Green Salad

Susan is back with a beautiful Pomegranate Dressing And Green Salad recipe!

My hubby and I decided to stay in and enjoy date night at home.  We just got in from out of town and didn’t really want to compete with the date night crowd. 

Looking for a delicious artichoke salad recipe to try at your next BBQ?

So, I decided to cook a steak, baked sweet potato and a salad.  My salad turned out great so, I’ll share the recipe.

I discovered some products at the stock show a couple of weeks ago and later learned that they are also sold at Central Market.

These are manufactured in Texas at the Texas Olive Ranch and they are delicious.  I didn’t even know that olives were grown in Texas! 

The vinegar is made from pomegranates and since I had never seen this, I had to have it.  I have not been disappointed.

T-BONE STEAK

Marinade the steak in the Pomegranate Vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce for about 45 minutes.  Sprinkle it with garlic powder and salt.  Grill it for 4 minutes per side.

Cook the 2 sweet potatoes in the microwave for about 4 minutes and then put them in a 400 degree oven to cook until done. 

This saves time and takes about 20 minutes in the oven, instead of 45.  I eat my sweet potatoes plain but if you want to be fancy, melt butter on top and sprinkle it with brown sugar.
