Tomato and Pomegranate Salad

This vibrant tomato and pomegranate salad is a celebration of fresh, seasonal produce. By combining several varieties of tomatoes, from sweet yellow cherries to rich tiger plums, you create a complex profile of acidity and sweetness. The addition of crunchy red pepper and sharp red onion provides a wonderful texture that contrasts beautifully with the juicy fruit. Finished with a trickle of extra virgin olive oil, it is a visual centrepiece that tastes as bright as it looks.

As a versatile vegan dish, this salad works exceptionally well as a light starter or a refreshing side for grilled vegetables and flatbreads. The dressing, enriched with tangy pomegranate molasses and aromatic allspice, offers a sophisticated Middle Eastern flair that elevates the simple ingredients. It is a heart-healthy choice that is naturally gluten-free, making it an ideal addition to any summer spread or dinner party menu.
