Autumn Pear and Pomegranate Salad

The contrast between the sweet pear, pomegranate and fruit vinegar and the peppery rocket in this Autumn salad is almost as delightful as the palette of beautiful colours.

Ingredients:

100 g mesclun mix
100g baby rocket
2 ripe pears, cored and thinly sliced
Arils (seed capsules) from 1 pomegranate
1/4 Spanish onion, finely sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped walnuts
1 medium Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fruit-flavoured vinegar (I used caramelised orange balsamic)

Method:

Place greens in a large, shallow serving bowl. Arrange cucumber slices around the rim of the bowl, and strew pear slices, pomegranate arils, onion and walnuts on top. Drizzle with vinegar.
