While on my road trip to Nebraska, I did nothing but eat unhealthy. It was a road trip and we had no time to stop off at fancy restaurants. So we did Jack in the Box mostly and a few other quick bites from gas station stops. My the 7th day I wanted to just throw up.

So now that I am back, I am going to start my week with salads, slowly working my way back to healthy eating. Here’s a recipe that stuck out, especially since I couldn’t find fresh apples anywhere on the road.

Ingredients
•1-2 cup(s) pomegranate seeds (about 1 pomegranate)
•1 pear, cored and chopped
•1 large apple, cored and chopped
•1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

For the vinaigrette
•2 teaspoons maple syrup (I USE AGAVE SYRUP INSTEAD – not a fan of traditional maple syrup)
•1 teaspoon lemon juice
•1 teaspoon olive oil
•1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
•1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Toss all together and enjoy
