POMEGRANATE AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD

Simple but delightful green salad recipes made from fresh salad greens and more. I like to get a few different ones and mix them up a bit. You can also buy pre-mixed salad. 

Having chosen your variety of greens,you should pick out any broken or damaged leaves, and break them up into slightly larger than bite seize pieces.

Gently wash your greens in a bowl of water, and dry them on a dishtowel or use a salad spinner. If you bought a bag of pre-washed greens you can skip this step.

Make sure the leaves are cool and dry, as you don't want to dilute your dressing. Put the salad in a bowl or serving plate, add in any other additional fruits of your choice. I used cherry tomato and pomegranate. Some slice onions and if you like cheese add it to the salad . To make it more colorful I added 

1 cup or more croutons (French loaf cubes slowly toasted in a pan with sufficient butter)

Dressing

As for dressing, a little oil and vinegar and salt to taste is all you need for a tasty, basic little salad. A flavoured vinegar is also nice, such as raspberry or garlic. I usually mix 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. A touch of salt sharpens up the flavour a bit as well. 

There goes your salad, simple, easy and healthy. ENJOY.

Kebetulan saya ada lebihan buah delima daripada projek jus delima saya. Puas dimakan sahaja, saya larikan sebiji untuk membuat salad ini. Sebenarnya menyediakan salad ini mudah aje, main letak-letak aje. Untuk resipi ini saya menggunakan salad yang siap packing. Basuh salad bersih-bersih, toskan airnya supaya nanti bila diletakkan dressingnnya tidaklah terlalu berair. Susun salad dalam mangkuk salad atau atas pinggan hidangan. Bahan-bahan tambahan lain, bergantung kepada citarasa masing-masing. Untuk resipi ini saya menggunakan buah delima, cherry tomato dan hirisan bawang besar. Kalau suka bolehlah diletakkan cheese. Untuk menambahkan keceriaan pada salad ini saya taburkan kepingan roti Perancis yang saya bakar dan potong halus. Ini menambahkan krap....krup salad tu nanti.

Bagi dressingnya saya guna cuka, dan minyak. Dressingnya juga boleh ikut citarasa masing-masing. Selalunya bagi tekak orang Asia saya cadangkan guna dressing macam membuat kerabu Thai.

Itu saje bahan dan caranya, mudah, cepat dan sihat.
