Arugala with Pomegranates, Blue Cheese & Pistachios

I made this as a trial run for Thanksgiving at my mom's house.

Arugala with Pomegranates, Blue Cheese & Pistachios

 - Instead of using straight arugala I bought a bag of baby spinach and arugala, a 50/50 blend.  I thought this would be better for a group since arugala can be pretty strong by itself.
 - I used reduced fat blue cheese
 - I didn't have any pomegranate juice (and I wasn't about to hand squeeze the arils!) so I just omitted it from the dressing.  I'll add it for Thanksgiving though.
 - Mike turned up his nose (literally, he scrunched up his face!) at the blue cheese but I thought this salad was delicious.  Such a good combo of flavors!
