My first pomegranate

This was the first time I've ever used a pomegranate. I've eaten one before -- as a kid, we found a pomegranate tree in someone's backyard, and my overall impression was that they were a lot of effort for not much payoff. But then, we were just biting into the fruit, and probably getting mouthfuls of the untasty pith along with the tasty seeds.

The best thing about this salad (steamed kale, sauteed potatoes and tofu, pomegranate seeds) was the dressing. It was a mixture of tahini and pomegranate molasses, plus water, salt and pepper. It was great!
