Pomegranates are very seductive, juicy, with a unique sweet and sour taste that complements the more bittersweet red cabbage here. Perfect as a side to roast meats, or for a colourful lunch

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.”

Ingredients

SALAD

red cabbage 200g
tart apples (preferably Cox) 2
pomegranate 1
dill 2 sprigs

DRESSING

pomegranate molasses 2 tbsp
balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp
ginger finely grated to make 2 tsp
soy sauce 1 tbsp
runny honey 1 tsp
grapeseed oil or other flavourless vegetable oil 3 tbsp

Method

Step 1

For the salad, finely slice the red cabbage, then core and finely slice the apples. Cut the pomegranate in half and take out the kernels, removing any white pith and saving the juice for the dressing.
Step 2

For the dressing, whisk together the pomegranate molasses and juice, vinegar, ginger, soy and honey, then whisk in the oil and season to taste.
Step 3

Mix the cabbage, apples and pomegranate seeds in a large salad bowl and toss in the dressing. Just before serving, toss once more, season with salt and pepper, and tear over the dill.
