This fresh & colorful Orange Pomegranate Salad with honey orange dressing is a perfect dinner for two or can be enjoyed as a side dish for a family of four!

Roger & I have been trying to incorporate more fruit & vegetables into our lifestyle. As vegetarians, we already eat quite a bit, but with a love for cheese & bread sometimes the veggies get pushed to the side of the plate.

So I’ve been trying to come up with fun & zesty new ways to add more fruits & veggies into our meals through fun & bright new recipes.

But since I love cheese so much, especially goat cheese, I decided it needed to be included in this recipe. I’ve been wanting to create a recipe with blood oranges, but I can’t seem to find them anywhere.

Luckily I have been able to find Diet Coke® Zesty Blood Orange at Kroger! And this bold & unexpected-yet-refreshing flavor of Diet Coke’s new flavors pairs perfectly with this Orange Pomegranate Salad!

Just last night Roger & I enjoyed the duo for dinner & it was a tasty hit! 

The honey orange dressing for this Orange Pomegranate Salad is incredibly simple & light and brings out all of the fresh natural flavors of the salad. Roger enjoyed it so much I think it may become a regular in our house. 

I used green butter lettuce & red butter lettuce this last time, but I may try it again sometime soon with arugula & spinach. 

And since Kroger carries so many types of goat cheese (I even saw a pumpkin spice one the last time I was there) I may switch up the flavors of this fruit-topped salad by adding a different type, like herb or honey goat cheese. 

While I’m there grocery shopping, I’m thinking I should also pick up more of the NEW flavors of Diet Coke. We’ve already tried (& loved) the Diet Coke® Feisty Cherry & we still need to try Diet Coke® Ginger Lime & Diet Coke® Twisted Mango. I should probably also pick up Diet Coke® Classic Diet Coke which still has the same great taste we’ve always loved, but is also getting a facelift to match the sleek cans of the new flavors of Diet Coke.

You can find your flavor match by clicking here & taking this fun quiz!

I’m thinking we will try the Diet Coke Twisted Mango next. And since all these new flavors are available in 8-packs or on-the-go singles, it’s easy to experiences all the NEW flavors at an affordable price!

Now I can’t stop dreaming of a mango salad with mozzarella…

These new flavors of Diet Coke are giving me all kinds of flavor inspiration!

And I’m also becoming really hungry & thirsty just thinking about it… Maybe it’s time for a little break because I really enjoy taking a break from the ordinary in my everyday routine with the all-new, flavor-filled lineup from Diet Coke.

Especially as winter melts into spring, I have a feeling I’ll be taking a lot more breaks outside to enjoy the warmer weather!
