Best 5 Arugula Salad With Pomegranate Molasses Recipes

ROASTED CARROT SALAD WITH ARUGULA AND POMEGRANATE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss carrots with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until edges are caramelized and carrots are tender, 28 to 33 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately toss with cumin. Let cool for a few minutes while you make the dressing. Carrots should be slightly warm but not hot when tossed with the greens.
• In a large bowl, whisk together pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, garlic, mustard and large pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust lemon juice and seasonings if necessary. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup oil until emulsified.
• Stir carrots into dressing, then gently toss with arugula, fennel and dill or mint. Serve immediately, drizzled with more olive oil and topped with pomegranate seeds, and yogurt and nuts or pita chips if using.

ARUGULA AND POMEGRANATE SALAD

Steps:

• Thinly slice the radishes and florets of cauliflower on a mandoline or with a vegetable peeler. Cover with a damp towel and reserve. Wash and dry the radish tops if using.
• Cut the pomegranate in half. Save one half for another use. Cup the pomegranate half in your hand, hold over a large bowl and beat it with the back of a spoon to expel the seeds. The bowl should catch the seeds and any juice.
• Add the lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and sugar to the bowl and whisk in the olive oil.
• When ready to serve, add the arugula (and radish tops if using) to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the shaved radishes and cauliflower and gently mix. Scatter the cheese over the top of the salad and serve immediately.

• Using a mortar and pestle, crush the fennel seeds and garlic to make a paste. Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, pomegranate molasses and olive oil. Whisk together to emulsify the dressing. Set aside.
• In a shallow serving platter lay the arugula leaves. Sprinkle the onion, tomatoes, salt and pepper on top. Toss to combine. Scatter the eggplant slices on the salad.
• Drizzle some dressing all over. Garnish with pine nuts and pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately, with crusty olive bread and olives on the side.
