Make as such, or as little, as you like!

This 7-step salad is super simple, super delicious and super nutritious. Make as much, or as little, as you like!

– Red lettuce (3 large leaves)
If you don’t have red lettuce any sort of lettuce will do, but red tastes best.

– Vietnamese Basil (leaves from two full stalks).
This flavour compliments the plum, but if you don’t have Vietnamese Basil, normal basil can be a substitute.

– Cucumber (one small Lebanese)
This bulks out the salad, without overpowering the other great flavours.

Pomegranate is magic in your mouth if you know the secret salad ingredients.

I have no idea how this salad ended up so good, but believe me it’s amazing!

The inspiration was a Pomegranate that my boyfriend insisted on buying, but which I knew he’d never get around to actually using, and some very old tomatoes that needed to be eaten or thrown out!

New and unusual ingredients, like Pomegranates, can just be a pain in a bicycle-babe’s butt to deal with when you don’t have any recipes for them, or you aren’t familiar with the flavour.
