Pomegranate-pistachio salad with shaved manchego

Pomegranate-pistachio salad with shaved manchego

1 package lettuce greens (or Bibb lettuce)
1/2 pomegranate
1/3 pound pistachios (salted and roasted)
1/3 pound Manchego cheese (aged one year)
cilantro (or any fresh, seasonal herb of your choice)



Cut open the pomegranate, pull out the seeds, and place them in a bowl. Shell the pistachios and place them in another bowl. Place salad greens on each plate, and top with herbs. Place about 10 pomegranate seeds and 10 pistachios on each plate. Using a cheese slicer, shave about four slices of Manchego per plate. Drizzle with your favorite salad dressing and serve.
