Ingredients
- ½ cup (50g) walnuts
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses (aka pomegranate concentrate)
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- rocket arugula and other lettuce leaves
- ½ a cucumber unpeeled and diced
- 2 tomatoes diced
- ½ red onion finely chopped
- Handful fresh mint leaves chopped
Optional garnish:
- pomegranate seeds
- Chopped parsely
Instructions
For the dressing
- Heat a dry frying pan, add the walnuts and toast for a few minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Place half of the toasted walnuts into a mini food processor along with the oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses and syrup. Whiz until combined. It will be slightly chunky.
For the salad
- Gently toss the rest of the salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
To serve
- Divide the salad onto plates and serve drizzled with the dressing and sprinkled with the remaining walnuts, plus parsley and pomegranate seeds.
Notes
- If you can't find pomegranate molasses (it's in many major grocery stores), then just leave it out. You can't substitute regular molasses or drinking pomegranate juice.
