Instructions
- Place the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, pomegranate molasses, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Peel and deseed the cucumber, and cut them into small cubes (1-2 cm). You don't need to deseed them if using small cucumbers. Place them in a bowl.
- Cut the tomatoes into cubes the same size as cucumbers and then add them to the bowl.
- Chop the onions the same size as the rest of the vegetables then place them together with the tomatoes & cucumbers.
- Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it on top of the vegetables.
- Add the dressing to the vegetables and give it a good stir until nicely combined.

Notes
- Tomatoes are one of the main ingredients for this delicious salad so try to use red and juicy tomatoes.
- You can substitute pomegranate molasses with balsamic glaze. However, I highly recommend buying a bottle of pomegranate molasses and using it as a salad dressing.
- Lightly toasting them in a 150° C (300° F) preheated oven for 10 minutes will intensify the nuttiness of the walnuts.
- The best is to eat this delicious salad freshly made as it doesn’t keep well. The vegetables release their juices and it becomes very watery if kept for too long.
- This delicious&tangy salad is not suitable to prep in advance as the vegetables will release their juices and it will become very liquid. However, you can prepare the dressing a couple of days in advance and keep it at room temperature until you need it.
