Bright Pomegranate Recipe

Now that you know all about pomegranates, it's time to incorporate them into a dish that will brighten up any meal. This recipe was inspired by a Moroccan dish in our our Mediterranean recipe collection. It's a salad that is sure to please, thanks to its beautiful color and amazing flavors.Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sliced radishes
  • 1 orange, peeled, halved, and sliced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • Juice from 1/2 a lime
  • Pomegranate seeds

Directions:

  • Mix all ingredients (except pomegranate seeds) together in mixing bowl.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
  • Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds just before serving.

Chef's Tips:

  • Try to slice the radishes very thin and in consistent slices for a nice presentation.
  • You can mix up the vinegars to shift the flavor profile. For a milder kick, try white wine vinegar, or for a more layered flavor, use balsamic instead. If you go with the latter, know that it will affect the color of the finished dish.
