Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Each serving of this salad offers 1 serving of whole grain.
  • tip 2
    When pomegranates are in season, the seeds make a great substitution for the cherries.
  • tip 3
    Make this salad up to 24 hours ahead. The amazing flavors develop more with time.
