This pear and pomegranate salad is a fall and winter favorite. I'm always eager for pomegranates to be in season so I can make this again. I make my own pomegranate juice by pressing the seeds against a metal sieve.

Sopa De Lima (Mexican Lime Soup)
Hot or cold outside, this sopa de lima recipe (Mexican lime soup) is light and refreshing. I first enjoyed this dish while sitting by the ocean in Mexico. It goes great with a margarita or beer and a side of chips and salsa. Use whatever chiles you want (hot or mild), depending on the amount of heat you enjoy. Serve it in bowls with crushed tortilla chips or strips on top.
