Pear & Pomegranate Salad
Pomegranate seeds and Boursin cheese add zip to this cool salad of Bosc pears over lettuce. Look for the 5.2-ounce Boursin, which has a firmer texture than the spreadable version. —Erika Monroe-Williams, Scottsdale, Arizona

Reviews
This is an elegant salad but it was enough work to prepare that I'd only serve it for a fancy dinner. I would also only make this again if the bagged pomegranate seeds were available. I had little red spots all over the kitchen from scooping out the seeds!. My grocer had neither the bagged seeds nor the boursin & garlic cheese and my family dislikes feta cheese so I did not add any cheese.. It is a very tasty and unusual salad however.
