You guys have made me think twice about the humble pomegranate. Whilst I readily acknowledge that the deep red colour makes it irresistible (and photogenic!) at Christmas, I’ve always found it too fiddly to really bother with. Plenty of you seemed to disagree when I asked about it on Twitter, though, so clearly I’m missing something!
Pomegranate and Feta Salad
This recipe is part of my new found love of pomegranates; a leafy salad with pomegranates and feta cheese. It’s surprisingly good, and a great festive alternative to all the turkey you’re likely to be eating. We cheated and used a bag of ready bought salad leaves for this (hey, Delia gets away with it), but it would be even better if you made up your own.
Christmas Salad of Feta and Pomegranate – Ingredients & Method
- 1 Bag of leafy salad OR a selection of your own salad leaves, including Radicchio and Lambs’ Lettuce.
- A handful of chopped feta
- 1 Pomegranate
- Black pepper, to taste
Start out by preparing your salad; equal portions of any leafy types will work well together, but try and include some bitter varieties in there. Next add a handful of chopped feta, the seeds from 1 pomegranate, and about 1/2 the juice. Toss lightly then finish with a twist of black pepper.
Enjoy!

I have always wished that pomegranates were available here:-( They seem to be worth whatever effort they are to prepare. LOVE this salad
The look of them is enough to convert people; they’re beautiful scattered onto practically any other food.
We have a pomegranat tree at our new (old) house. Knew nothing about it, of course, and trimmed it at the worng time. Total crop: one. I ate it all by myself and it was lovely. Maybe next year I’ll do your salad and share….
That’s one bumper crop! Still, I bet you enjoyed it
I’m made salads with Pomegranate and Feta and I always get raves from guests..aa wonderful; winter salad. Now if I could just have a Pom tree!
Ah, that’s where shops come in handy – assuming they sell pomegranates where you live, of course!
This salad looks beautifully simple and so good. Do you use any oil or just the pomegranate juice?
For this one just the juice; a splash of good extra virgin olive oil won’t hurt though.
This looks fabulous Scott.
Thanks, Julia!
