APPLE POMEGRANATE SALAD

Ingredients
1 quart (4 cups) heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
6 Red Delicious apples, chopped
2 pomegranates, seeded (reserve some for garnish)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions
Using an electric mixer, whip cream until soft peaks form; fold in sugar.  Place chopped apples in a large bowl.  Add whipped cream (you may have extra, but use as much as you'd like) and stir.  Gently fold in chocolate chips and pomegranate seeds.  Chill until serving.  Garnish with reserved pomegranate seeds.

Let's Dish
This is the easiest holiday salad ever, especially if you use a tub of frozen whipped topping (although the real stuff tastes much better).  It looks so festive in individual serving dishes, garnished with a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds.  I like to use the mini chocolate chips in this recipe. You can also add more sugar to your whipped cream if you like it a little sweeter.  And if anyone has a method for seeding pomegranates that doesn't splatter red juice all over the kitchen, I'd love to hear about it!

Who Dished It Up First
My sister made this one Thanksgiving, and I've been making it ever since.  I don't even think she had a recipe.  She just threw everything into a bowl and mixed it up.  Easy. Easy. EASY!

  1. the best way i have found to seed a pomegranite is to stick it in a bowl of water. the seeds come right out and all the white plith floats to the top making it easier to separate the seeds from the "shell"
