This salad was a lot of work to make and it wasn't worth it. The flavors were just okay.

The lamb was a bit tough. I think I overcooked it.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less pomegranate molasses next time.

I made this salad for a picnic and it was perfect. It held up well in the heat and was still delicious hours later.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this salad. The pomegranate molasses added a sweetness that balanced out the lamb's gaminess.
