About

This is a great-looking fresh salad, bejewelled with pomegranate seeds and orange segments. It showcases the lovely fresh aniseed flavour that comes from the finely shaved fennel and lightly crushed fennel seeds, which are used in the dressing and bring everything together.

Ingredients

1 pomegranate
3 oranges, peeled and cut into segments
½ red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

Method

To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl, season with a good pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
Roll the pomegranate back and forth a couple of times on a hard surface to loosen the seeds, then cut it in half. Using a wooden spoon, bash the seeds out into a bowl. This can get quite messy, so wear an apron to cover your clot
