  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted and salted pepitas (may sub. sunflower seeds)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (may sub 1/3 cup dried cranberries)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • 1 recipe caramelized nuts (I use walnuts) (may sub roasted/not candied pistachios)
  • 1 5.3 oz. container Pomegranate Greek Yogurt (I use Chobani)
  • 3 tablespoons Asian Sweet Chili Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (depending on how tangy you like it)

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sweet chili sauce, pomegranate juice, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, poppy seeds (if using), and salt until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
