Cucumber & pomegranate salad with cumin and lime

Diana Henry's simple, fresh salad adds a fantastic burst of colour to the table. It’s particularly good with any sweeter meat dishes (such as leg of lamb with a harissa and honey or pomegranate glaze).

Ingreadient :

    • ¼ tsp cumin seeds
    • 500g cucumber, diced
    • ½ small red onion, diced
    • 1 red chilli, halved, deseeded and cut into slivers
    • 2 tbsp torn mint or chopped coriander, or a mixture
    • 2 tbsp lime juice (or 2 tbsp lemon juice)
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Direction :

    1. Toast the cumin seeds in a frying pan until fragrant, then add to a large bowl. Mix together with everything except the pomegranate seeds. Check the seasoning. Toss the pomegranate seeds in just before serving.
