Categories     Salad     Bean     Fruit     Nut     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Walnut     Green Bean     Winter     Pomegranate     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pomegranates
a 1 1/2-pound piece jícama
3/4 pound haricot verts (thin French green beans)
1/4 cup walnuts
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • With a manual citrus juicer squeeze enough juice from pomegranate half, pressing sides against center of juicer and pressing on any whole seeds in juicer with thumbs, to measure 1/4 cup. Peel and cut jícama into 1/4-inch-thick slices. On a cutting board stack slices, 2 or 3 at a time, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. In a bowl toss jícama with pomegranate juice. Chill mixture, covered, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes to allow jícama to absorb some of juice.
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Trim haricots verts and in a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Transfer beans with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking and drain in a colander. Cut remaining pomegranate in half and with hands gently break in two. Bend back rinds and dislodge seeds from membranes. Coarsely chop walnuts.
  • To jícama mixture add beans, pomegranate seeds, parsley, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
  • Serve salad sprinkled with walnuts.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less sugar in the dressing.

I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

Not a fan of this salad. The flavors didn't really work for me and the dressing was too tangy.

This salad is a delightful burst of flavors and textures. The sweet and tart notes of the pomegranates, the crispness of the haricots verts and jicama, and the crunch of the walnuts all come together perfectly. I especially loved the tangy dressing,
