Ingredients

9 total
  • 250 g of mixed baby tomatoes, halved
  • 1 mooli, peeled and grated (using a julienne peeler if you have one)
  • 2 tsp of ginger paste
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 0.5 tsp of chilli powder, to taste
  • 1 pinch of sugar
  • 100 g of pomegranate seeds
  • 2 salad onions, finely sliced
  • 2 pinches of black salt or plain salt (optional)

Method

2 steps
  1. Step 1

    Mix the baby tomatoes and grated mooli in a bowl with the ginger paste, lemon juice and chilli powder. Add a pinch of sugar and some black pepper and give everything a good stir. Add a pinch of salt to balance, if needed.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer to a serving bowl, scatter over the pomegranate seeds and salad onions and garnish with the black salt, if you like. The salad will keep for 1 day in an airtight container in the fridge; any longer and it’ll lose its crunch.
