Notes

You can make the entire recipe ahead of time. It will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
The easiest way is to cut the pomegranate in half using a sharp knife. Next, partially slice through the white ribs and break the pomegranate into quarters. Using your hands, turn each quarter inside out and begin to remove the arils with your fingertips. It's best to do this over a large bowl. I also recommend wearing an apron because the arils can stain your clothing.
