Salad: Score 1-2 fresh pomegranates and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranates to free the arils. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of arils and set aside. Toss the green salad with just enough dressing to lightly coat. Top with almonds, blue cheese and sliced pears. Garnish with fresh pomegranate arils.
