Pomegranate and mix tomato salad

(serves 4)

Inspired from Ottolenghi's Plenty More

This is the first dish in Ottolenghi's book and looks very colourful and attractive! I made it the first time straight out of the book and it was very fresh, sweet and juicy! It's a nice pretty dish for Christmas, and the labanné is a great addition to give the whole dish a bit of a creamy dressing without being overpowering or feeling too unhealthy!

Prep time: 20 min

Ingredients

150 g baby spinach

250 g red cherry tomatoes

250 g yellow cherry tomatoes

1 red capsicum

1 small Spanish onion

1 pomegranate

Dressing

2 garlic cloves

½ teaspoon ground all spice

1½ Tbsp pomegranate molasses

2 tsp white wine vinegar

60 mL olive oil

salt

Method
1. Quarter the tomatoes and finely dice the onion and capsicum.
2. Prepare the dressing by combining the garlic, all spice, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Dress the tomato mixture.

3. Remove the seeds from the pomegranate. 
4. Arrange the tomato mixture on a large flat plate, sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds and oregano. Drizzle with olive oil and use a teaspoon to scoop out small teaspoons of labanné over the plate.
