    During cold and gloomy winter days, we need a little brightness on our table and in our day. How about this bright and colorful Pear Pomegranate Mandarin Winter Salad loaded with some late-season harvested fruit?

    This bright and colorful Pear, Pomegranate, Mandarin Winter Salad with Homemade Ranch Dressing and some of the winter harvested fruit is so scrumptious! #wintersaladrecipe #homemaderanch #valyastasteofhome

    It offers not only a beautiful array of colors on your table but adds a variety of flavors and nutrition, which tends to decline during the winter season. It also happens to be very delicious!

    The ingredients really mend together well. Bacon, feta cheese, and toasted almonds add so much scrumptious flavor to this salad. I tried this recipe not too long ago and it's quickly become a popular pick for holiday menus.

    Most of the fruit and vegetables can be prepped ahead of time, except for the pears (which should be cut immediately prior to serving, as they brown fast). Serve and enjoy with any main course.

    • Toasted almond slivers (see how to toast almond slivers HERE)
    • Pomegranate
    • Pears
    • Mandarins
    • Feta cheese
