Joining Suzy at Kitchen Bouquet for another Flashback Friday!Flashing back to a really great salad I had made a while back, one of the last posts of my original blog, There's No Thyme to Cook. I deleted that blog because of one little misclick. Is that a word? It is now. and it's out there in Blog Limboland, can't get it back, can't use the name, so now There's Always Thyme to Cook and this salad is so worth repeating!

ReplyDeleteJust a drop-dead gorgeous salad Carol. I bet it tastes as good as it looks. One "misclick" ... doesn't make much sense to me that it couldn't be restored, but at least you're able to blog (which is good for us).
ReplyDeletePretty salad Carol! But I have to tell you, I can't look at the word without seeing 4 letters. It happens everytime. ;)
ReplyDeleteCarol, I always love a salad and this one looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLooks tthis time too!
ReplyDeleteLOL, on C's take..
Have a good weekend, Carol..
It's going to rain..plenty of time to cook..no take out for you!
Lookin good! I like thoe type of salads..all the ingredients look great plus your add-ins!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think the "Always Thyme" suits you better..you are cooking up a storm lately...
Sounds good but where do you get the pom. seeds? I shouldn't have the nuts...do the pom seeds have much fat??
ReplyDeleteI got the seeds from Trader Joe's! No fat, but fiber. They're juicy seeds, not nuts :) Healthy!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Kathleen, takeout tonight!
Pom salad, LOL, I see it, Cindy!
Cynthia, I tried but got nowhere. Never misclick!
Thanks, Jayne, Geri and Barb :)
You won't believe how timely this post is!!!! I'll tell you later :-) Great flash back! I think I'm running out of ideas for mine lol. I'll have to put another spin on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading down the comment list getting ready to comment and I wasn't getting Cindy's comment. Then you came back and showed us and suddenly I get it too and now I can't type because I am laughing so hard! I am actually quite glad to have a new thing to associate poms with since they personally always remind me of BB (bluebells). This salad does sound good!
ReplyDeleteThe dressing looks quite tasty. I ordered some pomegranate juice and was looking for a dressing...this is wonderful, thank you!
