This salad is oddly compelling. My husband and I both cleaned our plates and yet neither of us could really say we loved this. There just seemed to be one (or more) too many things going on. I thought maybe it was the green onions or possibly too much mint. My husband thought the over-the-top element was the pomegranate seeds. The balsamic vinegar was the right choice with the prosciutto and pomegranate. Will probably play around with this a bit more -- or use it as the springboard to take this salad in another direction,
Possible modifications:
Maybe leave out the seeds and try a vinaigrette made with that bottle of pomegranate molasses in the pantry that I bought months ago and have never once used. Other thoughts -- some diced shallot in the vinaigrette rather than green onion in the salad. And cut back on the mint.
