ENSALADA DE NOCHEBUENA
Based on a recipe from the December 2009 issue of Cuisine At Home. Includes a pomegranate-lime vinaigrette. "This salad traditionally is served by many Mexican families during Christmas Eve celebrations. Try it paired with tamales for a full feast." TIP to prep pomegranate: slice off the crown end of the fruit; score the rind around the fruit, then break the fruit apart at the score lines. Place the pieces in a large bowl of cold water, and gently roll out the arils (seeds) and the white membrane. Remove and discard the white membrane that floats to the top, then drain the arils in a strainer and they're ready to eat.

ENSALADA DE NOCHE BUENA (CHRISTMAS EVE SALAD)
A beautiful festive salad. Perfect salad to serve at holiday gatherings. Adapted from a recipe I found many years ago. I don't add the coconut but the original recipe did. I use the canned fruits for ease when making this to take to a potlucks, however fresh fruits and beets can be used. Dressing can be made earlier in day also.
