Method

  1. Combine the oil, lemon juice, garlic, tarragon and honey in a large bowl and season. Toss in the red onion and lentils and set aside to marinate for 10 mins.

  2. Break the salmon into large flakes and fold into the salad with the parsley and pomegranate. Serve with toasted pitta.

  • Recipe Tip

    Make it meaty

    Make the salad as before, leaving out the salmon and swapping the tarragon for mint. Mix 2 tsp harissa with 2 tbsp yogurt and use to marinate 2 slashed, skinless chicken breasts for 10 mins. Grill the chicken for 4-6 mins on each side, then serve with the salad.

Just got into regularly eating fresh pomegranate! Not easy to chew seeds,but you do get a luscious sweet fruit taste,and tops for vitamins and antioxidants!

Oh wow, this is YUMMY. Literally the easiest thing I have EVER made. Served it with a bowl of chips. Very gastro-pub.
