SPINACH SALAD WITH PEPITAS AND POMEGRANATE
This Modern Mexican salad has a great holiday look as it makes use of pomegranate seeds which are in season this time of year. It can be made into a main dish vegetarian salad with the addition of white beans; or for meat eaters, some grilled chicken would be good. Recipe adapted from one served at the Border Grill Restaurant in Pasadena,

Steps:

- Remove from the heat, add lime juice mixed with 1 teaspoon salt and shake vigorously. Cook shaking often, until the pan is dry. Set aside to cool.
- Slice the jicama into 1/8-inch slices, then julienne as thinly as possible. Transfer to a very large salad bowl, along with the spinach.
- Whisk 1 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste), pepper, vinegar and olive oil together in a small bowl and drizzle it over the salad.
- add the pepitas, feta and pomegranate seeds and toss well.
- Serve immediately.
