Or finishing a dish of roasted Brussel sprouts and toasted walnuts adding their tart crunch. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/639\/23447527209_0e8989c201_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"157\" alt=\"Pomegranate Salad\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 240px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 240\/157;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Try them on ice cream or yogurt or even shaken into your favorite cocktail. <\/p>\n<p>And I have a great tip to make de-seeding simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\u2022Cut the pomegranate in half, then holding a half firmly over a large bowl.<br \/>\n\u2022Hit it with a heavy wooden spoon and watch the seeds come tumbling out.<br \/>\n\u2022Repeat \u2013 then eat.\n<\/ul>\n<p>PS.
