Ingredients
Salad Dressing
- ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium lemon (juiced)
- 1 medium lime (juiced)
- 2 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- 1 tablespoon sumac powder
- 1½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Salad
- 1 head Romaine lettuce (or 2 Romaine hearts)
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
- 1 large English cucumber (chopped)
- 4 scallions (chopped)
- ⅓ cup purple onion (sliced)
- ½ cup Italian parsley (chopped)
- ½ cup fresh mint (chopped)
- 1 medium pomegranate
- 2 cups Stacy's pita chips
Instructions
- To make the dressing, whisk salad dressing ingredients until emulsified and set aside until needed.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-sized chunks and add to a large salad bowl. Chop/slice the remaining vegetables and toss them with the lettuce.
- Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on the salad. Just prior to serving, drizzle the salad with the pomegranate dressing and top with pita chips.
Notes
- Sometimes purslane is also added to the salad. Purslane is an edible weed that's loaded with health benefits!
- Radishes are also a popular addition to this yummy salad.
- The salad and dressing can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Once the dressing and pita chips are added to the salad it needs to be consumed right away. The salad and pita chips will degrade and is no longer suitable for storing.
- If you are not serving a large crowd, you may want to halve the recipe so you don't waste the ingredients.
- If you don't want to deal with the hassle of deseeding the pomegranate, Poms Wonderful has pomegranate seeds in a cup, making it so convenient. You'll need approximately 1 cup.
