    Hi Madonna,

    Gorgeous styling, especially, the salad in the last photo! Just had to tell you that before I forgot! I like fennel, but hate licorice , too! That goes for bananas, as well: love raw bananas but don’t much care for baked banana bread or muffins or loaves!

    Pomegranates aren’t considered the fruit of the Greek gods, for nothing! Here, combined with healthy fennel, and the sweetness of apples, they truly burst with extra flavour and make this refreshing salad a true gem!

    love this combo, i make many versions of this but i love the taste of honey and lime. i was just dawdling thinking i need to strip my poms before the birds get them all, but then i would have so many it stresses me out trying to use them all up! woe is me, life could be worse! such a wonderful salad i know what i will be dining on tonight~

      I was very happy with this recipe. I will have to try honey next time. I did see where a blogger juiced her pomegranates and will be making jelly. That sounds good to me and another made a syrup for salads and roasted meats. I wish I had that problem. Lucky you. 🙂

    Looks like a fabulous salad. Yup, me too, hate licorice, love fennel! Go figure!
    I’m thrilled that pomegranates are in season. My Aldi had them for 59 cents last week. You know I’m cooking with them this week. I’m actually making a fun salsa today. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Hi Madonna, It’s so attractive and colorful (a sign that it’s healthful!) ~ I’m sure delicious, too.
    Thank you for sharing the recipe ~ (and great photos.) Have a great day. ~m
    P.S. I wish I had Jain’s abundance of poms as well, I moved away from my garden with the pomegranate tree and the fruit is a little difficult to source here for some reason.

    This sounds perfect! I agree, I don’t care for black licorice but love fennel, especially in salad~do you have a secret for extracting pomegranate seeds? I love them but am so lazy 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!

      Thanks for visiting Jenna.

      I have a small paring knife with a very small curved blade. I just used it to break the skin of the pomegranate and then I pull them apart. With that I pull apart the section of the pod; from there I just tickled the arils loose. You can break them apart underwater. The pith rises to the top and the arils sink, or you can open them and whack the peel side with a wooden spoon and the arils will fall out, but I usually use the first method. I hope you will try it, it is so refreshing.

      Oh, one more thing. You can buy the arils in the precut fruit and juice section in your market if you really don’t want to take the time.

    How lovely to discover your blog, and to discover such a beautiful salad. Fennel and pomegranate are two of my favourite salad ingredients, and I have both on hand at the moment. I’m thinking that, along with some crispy potatoes, this salad will make a wonderful accompaniment to tomorrow night’s roast chicken. Thanks for the inspiration.
    BTW, I love liquorice 🙂

        Just came back to tell you I loved the salad. In fact I like it so much, I threw one together again on the fly this morning to take to work for my lunch. I didn’t have any apple or lime this time, but I did have some dates and rocket which went into the mix, along with a quick apple cider vinegar dressing. Delicious.

            Just followed the link here from your gorgeous chickpea and shrimp recipe, and realised I’ve been here before 🙂

            I remember it well, now. I made it loads of times last year when fennel was in season and I had forgotten about it. Fennel season is in full swing here again right now so it’s definitely time to revisit this beautiful salad. No pomegranates, because we don’t grown them in New Zealand. So I always buy loads when they do come in from America, usually December I think, and I freeze them so that I have a year round supply for dishes just like this.

  16. Laila Uljas – Finland – I've just turned 40 the other year, and to tell you the truth, I like being forty. I'm a mother to nine beautiful children (including one set of twins). Previously I have done product and concept development for coffee shops and bakeries. At the moment, I have been focusing on the wellbeing of our communities. I graduated from the University of Helsinki with a Master's in political science. The welfare of our society and community we live in is something I have always been concerned about ever since I was young. But life sometimes takes you into unplanned and exciting places. Soon we will be returning to our home city of 17 years, Kouvola, Finland after spending nine months on a dairy farm in northern Finland. It has been an experience of a lifetime. I have been telling the story of life on the dairy farm on my youtube channel Jenkkimutsi maalla interspersed with issues that affect our society. Most videos are in Finnish, but a few are in English. Welcome along.

      Amy, this is such a good salad. As much as I like lemon, try using the lime for this. For some reason it just takes it to a new level. This is one of my favorite salads and I think it might be the easiest.
