    Hmmm...I'll look into it for you. Chef Meg
    I did see that Pom does not sell cups of the arils at the market.

     You can buy the arils already taken out out the Pomegranate. Pom Wonderful sells them pre-packaged! - 12/19/11

     I made this for some friends that were coming for lunch and it was a hit! I had to make a couple of small substitutions, but fairly easy. I did not want to cut up the pear until the last minute and then with all the visiting forgot to add it! - 8/23/12

     I omitted shallot and goat cheese (not a fan of either) plu sI used radishes from the grocery store (no idea if they were daikon or not - store didn't have it labeled). But this is surprisingly tasty - I've discovered a new salad to love! - 11/4/19
