Combine baby spinach, slivered red onions, and pomegranate seeds. Toast ramen noodles (break them apart) with slivered almonds or pecans. Add to salad. Dress with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. 

 

I love Ciao Bello sorbet—and they have perfect flavors for Tu B'shvat that feature unique fruits, such as passion fruit, blood orange, and prickly pear. Use a melon baller to artfully arrange scoops of sorbet in glasses. You can add a cherry sauce, and garnish with fresh mint and pomegranate seeds.

 

A drink that’s perfect for winter: In a saucepan over medium heat, add store-bought apple cider, a couple tablespoons of honey, and slices of mandarin orange or kumquats. bring to a boil. remove from heat and serve. use a cinnamon stick as a mixer and garnish with a kumquat (slice a small slit in the fruit to allow it to rest on the edge of the glass).
