Wonderful: simple... beautiful... delicious...!! !I would venture to ask: they say there are seedless pomegranates, maybe someone knows what the variety is called or at least what they look like (how to identify it when purchasing)?

This is a really good salad! And I suggest instead of pomegranate, generously sprinkle grated walnuts on top of the pickled onions! The taste will change!
