Ruby Pomegranate And Tomato salad

May 4, 2015 by Sara 13 Comments

It’s hard to say what I like best about this ruby pomegranate and tomato salad courtesy of Mr Ottolenghi’s Plenty More, the beauty or the taste? I have to say it delivers on both counts beyond any expectation.

The sweet sharp crunch of the pomegranate with the tangy tomatoes and bite of the onion makes it a delight to the taste buds and a recipe that I will definitely be using to add a bit of razzle-dazzle to salads and barbecues this summer.

It couldn’t be an easier salad to make; all you need is lovely ripe ingredients and a sharp knife. I had to improvise with the dressing a little, I used olive oil, cider vinegar, a little balsamic and a touch of date syrup (making my mouth water as I type!)

The original recipe calls for fresh oregano to garnish, but I used mint instead. The new shoots are just beginning to emerge in the garden which is always so exciting to see! And it added a wonderful freshness to the mix.

A ruby pomegranate and tomato salad which looks just as wonderful as it tastes.
Author: Sara
Recipe type: Salad
Cuisine: Vegetarian, side dish
Ingredients
  • 500 g tomatoes, a mixture of varieties if possible, cherry and vine tomatoes are best.
  • 1 medium red pointed pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • The seeds of one pomegranate
  • 1 crushed clove of garlic
  • ½ tsp ground allspice

Instructions
  1. De-seed the pomegranate (see my post on how to de-seed a pomegranate)
  2. Finely dice the onion.
  3. Chop the tomatoes and red pepper into ½ cm pieces, some thinly sliced for variation to look pretty.
  4. Combine the tomato, onion, peppers and pomegranate seeds.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients and drizzle it over the salad ingredients.
  6. Scatter over the chopped herbs to finish.
  7. It smells incredible.

    This looks like the perfect summer salad. I love pomegranate in salads and the dressing sounds like a great paring.
