This recipe is the perfect salad combination to be used as a side dish to rich Italian pasta dishes. I personally like to serve this with my Penne con Vodka recipe, but it is so delicious I would happily have it on its own!

The dressing is a deliciously moreish combination of sweet honey and sharp Balsamic vinegar mixed with olive oil and Mayonnaise, which is drizzled over a simple salad that is then topped with juicy pomegranate seeds and the saltiness of fresh parmesan cheese.
