In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional pistachios and pomegranate seeds for extra texture and flavor.
Serve and enjoy!
