This is a lovely Mediterranean salad to make at any time of the year. The salad is based on rich, deep colors with the sparkling pomegranate seeds giving it a jewel-like quality. What makes this salad special is good crunchy pita bread and zesty dressing with dry mint, sumac powder and pomegranate molasses.
Dressing-Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon
1 garlic clove crushed
salt to taste
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dry mint
1/2 tsp sumac powder
Salad-ingredients:
1 cup pomegranate
1 arabic/pita bread
Kosher salt to taste
1 cucumber quartered
1 red onion diced
4-5 radishes diced
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 ripe tomato chopped
1l2 large lettuce chopped
2 green onions chopped
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Method:
1. In a large bowl add the salad ingredients: cucumber, radish, tomato, red onion, bell pepper. Add freshly ground black pepper, sumac and dry mint.
2. In a jar add the salad dressing ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pomegranate molasses. Shake the jar until the dressing is well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat. Add the Arabic bread. After 2 minutes add kosher salt and fry for another 3 minutes to get crispy and golden color.
4. Add fresh pomegranate, green onions, and parsley to the salad bowl. Drizzle dressing over the salad and mix until well combined.
5. Add lettuce and crispy bread before serving and gently toss it. Serve chilled or immediately.
Note:
I have used Lebanese flat bread for this recipe, but you can use pita or any other arabic bread as well.
To avoid losing crispy flavor do not over mix lettuce and bread.
