_ Instructions

To Make Salad

Place the torn butter lettuce in a salad bowl.

Chop the pear and apple into small chunks; keep the skin on, do not peel.

Add fruit chunks to the salad bowl along with the golden raisins. Toss ingredients

 together till combined.

Divide the salad between six salad plates. Sprinkle each portion of salad with

sliced toasted almonds and pomegranate seeds. Garnish with edible flowers, if

desired.

To Make Dressing

In a blender, combine pomegranate juice, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, salt,

and black pepper. Blend for a few seconds to mix.

Open the pouring spout on the top of your blender and turn blender on to

medium. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil very slowly through the pouring spout

 into the dressing. It should take 60 seconds or longer to drizzle the entire quarter

 cup of oil.

Pour thickened dressing into a serving dish. It should be a lovely pink color.

Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of dressing over each portion of salad before serving.
