• Peel and section orange into 4 to 8 chunks.
• Divide greens onto 4 plates.

• Add sliced fresh mint with 1 to 2 tbsp dressing to each serving.
• Sprinkle arils onto each salad and serve immediately.

 * For 1 cup of juice, cut 2-3 large POM Wonderful pomegranates in half and juice them with a citrus reamer or juicer. Pour mixture through a cheesecloth-lined strainer or sieve. Set the juice aside.
