Pomegranate salad with feta and fennel
This pomegranate salad is so inviting with the colourful red dots. And the taste goes well with all kinds of cheese, fruit like oranges and pears and leafy greens such as spinach and arugula.
The pomegranate salad recipe was part of a fennel themed plate of antipasti with fennel pesto, fennel flan and fennel salami, I served at a party some time ago. And it was so good I intend to make it again and again over the coming weeks, months and years.
Ingredients:
1 pomegranate
1 fennel bulb
1 small cucumber
½ red onion
100 g feta cheese
Salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh chervil
Preparation:
Hammer the pomegranate with a wooden spoon and submerge it in a bowl of water before you cut it open. That way you will not be covered in juice, and the seeds are quite easy to release from the bitter white flesh of the fruit.
Keep the pomegranate seeds in a separate bowl until the salad is ready to be served
Mix a dressing of olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper
Clean the fennel bulb thoroughly and cut it in appropriate pieces.
Wash the cucumber, peel the onion and chop both up finely’
Toss fennel, cucumber, onion and crumbled feta in the dressing
Sprinkle with chopped chervil and pomegranate seeds
Serve the pomegranate salad with other antipasti or use it as a light sidedish with roasted meat.

This looks delicious, although I never would have imagined putting these ingredients together. I love your recipes.
Thanks. I really like sharing something as good as this:)
I had the same thoughts as Laurel. This is SO appealing, and I just love it when some one comes up with something altogether new to me. Complimenti!
Yum!! That sounds amazing. Perfect for hot summer days :) What a great combination.
Yes – I’m a great fan of fruit, cheese and vegetable salads of all kinds.
