Feta And Pomegranate Salad With Apple Cider Vinaigrette

April 9, 2015 by GG 18 Comments

Feta And Pomegranate Salad

Feta And Pomegranate Salad

In a effort to be a little healthier and strive for that ‘Summer Body’ I’ve become more serious about exercise and my diet.  I’ve been swimming for a long time but without the “Come on you can do one more!’ I don’t really push myself.  I’m now doing boot camp three time a week – I’m not sure a ‘Summer Body’ will ever happen, but bizarrely I’m really enjoying the morning hard graft.

Now that Spring has well and truly arrived, it makes healthy eating much easier.  I’m newly discovering grains and there will be more of those to come.  But I love mixed Salad leaves especially with fresh herbs, that add a punch of flavour like coriander, parsley, chives and freshly picked oregano or fragrant Greek basil.

Baby Levant cucumbers, thinly sliced lengthways and tiny vine tomatoes add sweetness and colour along with sparkling pink pomegranate seeds.  There’s little need for salt in this salad as seasoning comes from the creamy feta which is just crumbled over the leaves.  The apple cider vinegar in the dressing also helps to prolong the feeling of being full, perfect for the ‘Summer Body’.   This is great as a main, or a side dish to roast lamb or spicy chicken.

      It’s hard having to be serious about the gym, but hopefully it’ll pay off. GG

    What a beautiful salad and so healthy. Boot camp three days a week sounds punishing but very worthwhile. I’m sure you’ll have your bikini body in no time. I’m about to get up and head off to see my personal trainer. Not exactly in the mood! xx

    Dear GG,

    I love the vibrant colours of this salad and a tangy vinaigrette is one of my fave dressings.

    Lovely. Apple cider vinaigrette featured heavily in my world over the summer, playing around with reductions at the moment, but I’ll turn the heat up and whip this up for sure. Mmmm. 🙂
