Recipe: Beet and pomegranate salad

YUM. This is my new favorite salad. I only found out later that the combination is a related to a classic Persian dish. I used packaged beets instead of roasting them myself, makes it so much easier. The raw garlic gives the salad a great zest and the ingredients are super healthy.
