Nowadays, however, I am relieved to spend Rosh Hashana in my own home, even if it means I do all of the cooking and cleaning. Why? Because I don\u2019t think there is any holiday meal with more carbs than a Rosh Hashana dinner. The honey-sweetened challah, apples dipped in honey, pomegranates with honey, sweet noodle kugel, tzimis with prunes and apricots, honey cake\u2026 Even the brisket tends to be sweet \u2013 made with pomegranate juice, plums, and even \u2013 to my horror \u2013 Coke.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although I don\u2019t indulge in sweetened food, even on the holiday that demands eating them, I do like to have a traditional food on the table.\u00a0 This year I\u2019ve decided to go with a pomegranate, so I&#8217;ve come up with a wonderful pomegranate salad.\u00a0 Pomegranate is full of sweetness, and combined with the peppery, slightly bitter flavor of arugula, you have an incredible combination of rich tastes \u2013 contrasting, yet complementary.\u00a0 And the mustard in the dressing brings in just the right amount of seasoning and adds a nice texture to the salad as well. The lemon gives it all the perfect touch of tanginess.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even better, you\u2019d be hard pressed to find more healthful foods than pomegranate and arugula. So, while I won\u2019t be having any honey this year, I can\u2019t think of anything sweeter than welcoming the new year by doing something great for my body \u2013 feeding it a low carb, nutrient-dense, and delicious arugula and pomegranate salad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-196\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-30296\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"e75b1ab774\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_30296_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(30296, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.8, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
