This pomegranate salad recipe author comes from Scandinavian Green by Trine Hahnemann (£26, Quadrille). Trine says: “This is a classic Hahnemann recipe and I make it whenever I can find pomegranates… In Denmark, we used only to be able to find pomegranates around Christmas time, but now I see them much more frequently. Still, in my kitchen, they remain a real winter treat.”
