This is a nice main dish salad that serves two amply as a full meal. If you are not into smoking food as I am then grilling the chicken works fine as well. The applewood smoke flavor adds a nice accent taste to the dish however. If you don' have pomegranate molasses substitute honey but you won't get that sweet tang of the pomegranate flavor. I served the salad with freshly baked Afgan Naan bread and hummus.

A fruit forward red wine works well with the smoked chicken. I chose a 2008 Jacuzzi Family Vineyards Primitivo from Lake County.

  1. Combine cranberries, vinegar, pomengranate molasses, mustard, salt/garlic pepper in a blender. Process on highest speed until the cranberries are completely broken down and ingredients form a liquid. Gradually add the olive oil in a slow steady stream to emulsify the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Set dressing aside until service.
  2. Place prepared pears and avocado in lemon water to keep from browning until assemble. Refrigerate until service.

    As a vegetarian, the salad and the dressing sound fabulous to me. What a great recipe for company instead of a waldorf salad.
