Winter salads may not be as common as winter soups, but there’s no reason to miss out on these beneficial meals. This pomegranate chicken salad is perfectly in season and brings the great combination of protein and fruits to your plate! Also, it’s served in a fun Christmas-esque formation: a wreath!

Pomegranates are in peak season through fall and winter, giving that sweet-tart taste with loads of benefits! This fruit contain potassium which supports your heart and muscles, as well as antioxidants which boost your immune system. Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C and fiber, protecting your cells and supporting your digestive system.

Along with chicken and pomegranates, this salad contains a lot of filling veggies. We have beets, carrots, and potato, all perfectly balancing their flavors with the sweetness of the pomegranate. Along with those ingredients, you’ll need walnuts, eggs, mayonnaise, and garlic.

Ingredients to Make the Layered Chicken Salad with Pomegranate

Before you can put the salad together, you need to cook some of the ingredients.

Chicken breast: Fill a small pot with water, a pinch of salt, and the chicken breast. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through. You can definitely use meat from a rotisserie chicken instead. This is a low-calorie part of the chicken, but high in protein.

Vegetables: In a separate pot, place the following ingredients:

Beet: Use a red one, it makes up the presentation of this chicken salad and adds a sweet flavor.

Potato: I like to use the yellow potato because it has a smooth, buttery texture.

Carrots: A great layer of vitamin A, so why not.

Fill water until it covers all the vegetables. Cook for an hour, or until fork-tender.

Boil the eggs: In a small saucepan or pot, boil the eggs until cooked. Place in cold water to cool off and for easy peeling.

Dice the onion: Saute a yellow onion with a Tablespoon of unsalted butter until the onion is clear and tender.

Chop the Walnuts: Adds a great crunch to the layered salad.

Pomegranate seeds: Grab it fresh while in season! Pomegranate seeds make a great addition to any dish in the winter. They are filled with nutritional benefits and add a sweet, crunchy flavor.

Mayonnaise: No need for any other dressing! The mayonnaise makes each layer creamy and flavorful.

Garlic: Minced. Just one clove of garlic makes a difference and adds a kick of flavor. Salt and pepper to taste.

Prepping the ingredients: After eggs and vegetables are cooked and cooled down, grate each ingredient and place each separately. Shred the chicken breast.
