Pomegranate salad is one of the most colorful and glazed salads, and with its attractive combination, everyone is fascinated by this pomegranate salad.Vegan pomegranate salad is perfect for Thanksgiving celebrations. Why do I say vegan pomegranate salad?
Because dairy or meat such as cheese, chicken, or turkey pieces are omitted in this salad, I believe that the pomegranate salad or the foods served alongside the pomegranate salad should be completely vegan, and no animal products should be used. Colorful foods and fruits should be used in the Thanksgiving celebration. And no animal should be killed for our food, especially during celebrations like Christmas or Thanksgiving.
Pomegranate salad is a type of autumn salad that can be made in all seasons because pomegranates can be found in stores in all seasons. I usually separate the pomegranate seeds in autumn, put them in a container, freeze them, and use them for salads or other dishes whenever I want.
I use a type of nut like walnut in the salad. Walnuts are rich in phosphorus and protein. Which is very tasteful; you can use Indian almonds or nuts.
For pomegranate salad dressing, I use pomegranate dressing and a little bit of lime. Which has antioxidants, and to strengthen this salad, I use vegetables such as spinach, which contains iron, and avocado, which is rich in vitamins.
So join me to prepare this delicious and colorful vegan pomegranate salad easily.
Tips and tricks:
- Plump, ripe pomegranates with vibrant red or deep purple skins. Avoid those with blemishes or cracks, as they may not be juicy or sweet.
- remove the seeds easily and without making a mess, cut the pomegranate in half and gently tap the back of each half on a bowl with a spoon. The seeds fall easily.
- Pomegranate juice can stain your hands and clothes, so wear an apron and use a slotted cutting board to catch any spills.
- When deseeding pomegranates, try to do so underwater in a bowl to avoid splashing the juice and reduce staining.
- Keep the salad fresh, keep the dressing separate, and add it just before serving to keep the greens crisp and prevent them from wilting.
- For an extra nutty flavor, roast walnuts and pumpkin seeds in a dry pan over low heat until fragrant.
- Choose an avocado that is ripe but slightly firm. To check for doneness, gently squeeze the skin – it should give a little without feeling soft.
- Adjust the sauce to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add maple syrup or vegan honey to the dressing for a nice contrast to the pomegranate seeds.
- Don’t hesitate to get creative with the ingredients. Add other fruits like oranges or apples, or use fresh herbs like mint or cilantro for extra flavor.
- To prevent the salad from getting watery, remove the cucumber seeds with a spoon before chopping. This will keep the salad crisp and prevent excess moisture.
Pomegranate salad is best served to enhance its refreshing taste and texture.
