Chef tips
To remove pomegranate seeds easily without any mess, halve the fruit and tap the skin firmly with a wooden spoon over a deep bowl, or deseed them in a bowl of water to prevent juice splashes. To upgrade this salad, add toasted walnuts or some salty feta cheese to complement the sweet pomegranate flavours. Children will enjoy helping to decorate by scattering the red "diamonds" over the greens.
