SALAD:    Spinach Salad with Tangerines and Pomegranate Seeds

Pomegranate seeds — or arils — have been symbols of fertility, prosperity, and eternal life for thousands of years. In ancient Persia and Greece, the pomegranate was considered a sacred fruit connected to goddesses like Persephone and Aphrodite. Today, it’s still a sign of good luck and renewal in many cultures — and nutrition-wise, it’s packed with antioxidants that support heart health and glowing skin.

   Vinaigrette

   1. Wash the beets, potatoes, and carrots. 2. Boil the beets separately until tender (they take longer, about 1 hour). Let cool, peel, and dice into small cubes. 3. Boil the potatoes (about 20 minutes) and carrots (about 15 minutes) together until just tender. Cool, peel, and dice. 4. Dice the pickles into small cubes. 5. Peel and finely chop the onion. 6. Lightly squeeze excess liquid from the sauerkraut if it’s very juicy. 7. In a large bowl, gently mix the diced beets, potatoes, carrots, pickles, sauerkraut, and onion. 8. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and white vinegar. 9. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently so the beets color everything evenly. 10. Add salt and pepper to taste. 11. Let the vinaigrette rest in the refrigerator for at least 20–30 minutes so the flavors meld. SERVING IDEAS: - Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh dill for a clean, elegant look. - Add a small side of rye bread or dark sourdough. - Add a few thin rings of red onion on top for brightness. - Vinaigrette tastes even better after resting for a few hours.
