Orange Pomegranate Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 oranges or 10 clementines - peeled
- 1 small red onion - thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves - chopped
- ½ cup pomegranate seeds
- Dash salt
- Dash of ground cinnamon
- Dash of sweet paprika
Dressing:
- 1 lime - juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- First, make the dressing. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, and honey together and set aside.
- Take the sliced onions and place them in a bowl of ice-cold water. Allow them to soak for 10 minutes. Then, remove the onions and dry them completely.
- Take a serving platter and evenly arrange half of the chopped mint leaves on the platter. Then, place the orange slices and the onions on top.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt, paprika, and cinnamon on top. Next, evenly spread out the pomegranate seeds over the entire arrangement.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and top with the remaining mint leaves.
- Set aside for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dressing to exert its flavors into the fruit.
Notes
Storage Instructions:
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 3 days. If you prefer to prep this salad in advance to serve at a later time, I recommend keeping the dressing separate and drizzling on top a few minutes before serving. Make sure to shake the dressing up to ensure that there is no separation!Nutrition
