Pomegranate relish/salad with grilled halloumi

This is a fabulously fresh and fragrant relish or salad. The wonderful shop up at the Crystal Palace triangle who sells bowls of exotic fruit and vegetables for a £1, had 3 of these on offer for that price. Bargain! So, I get to be frivolous with these beautifully pink and translucent gems. It was a tapas/mezze for dinner tonight and I thought a pomegranate relish would work perfectly with the grilled halloumi I was planning. 

 

 

What you will need

1 pomegranate

½ red onion

A handful of radishes

½ tea spoon chilli flakes

1 clove garlic

½ lemon juice

2 table spoons olive oil

Fresh parsley

Fresh mint
1 packet halloumi

Start by gently extracting the jewels from the flesh. Next, thinly slice the onion and radishes and crush the garlic.

To make the dressing, mix together the oil, lemon juice, chilli and garlic and season with salt.
 

Mix together the pomegranate with the onion, radishes and chopped fresh herbs then pour over the dressing.

 

Serve on salad leaves with grilled halloumi, on meat or folded through couscous.
