Ingredients
Pomegranate Vinaigrette
- 70 ml olive oil
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- lime juice of half a lime
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp za'atar spice blend
- black pepper to taste
- salt to taste
Salad
- 180 g lettuce roughly chop if using lettuce, mixed leaves should remain intact, or mixed leaves
- 1 - 2 celery medium sliced, sticks
- 1 red onion (finely sliced)
- 150 g cucumber (I use baby or Persian cucumbers - quartered then medium sliced)
- 250 g Cherry pitted and halved
- 15 - 20 g mint leaf small leaves can be kept, roughly chop larger leaves, fresh
- 100 g feta cheese crumbled
- 40 g pistachio shelled and roughly chopped or bashed in a pestle and mortar
Instructions
- Pomegranate Vinaigrette:Make the dressing a minimum of 1 hour before you want to serve the salad to let the flavours infuse. Take a jar with a lid and add all the pomegranate vinaigrette ingredients. Screw the lid on and give it a good shake. Taste and adjust elements to taste. Place the jar in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Serving the Salad:Layer your ingredients for the salad in a bowl. Give the jar of dressing a good shake and pour over the salad. Using salad tongs / spoons, toss the salad to ensure it is evenly coated with the pomegranate vinaigrette. Serve immediately after dressing.
