I remember the first time I tried a salad like this at a small cafe in Greece. The combination of sweet fruit, salty cheese, and tangy dressing was an revelation. I knew I had to recreate it at home, and after several attempts, I finally perfected this recipe. It’s now a staple in my kitchen, especially during the cooler months when pomegranates are in season.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Begin by prepping the pomelo. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the top and bottom of the pomelo, removing the thick peel and pith. Segment the pomelo by slicing along the membranes to release the juicy segments. Discard any seeds.
- Next, deseed the pomegranate. Cut the pomegranate in half and hold one half over a large bowl. Gently tap the back of the pomegranate with a wooden spoon to release the vibrant red arils into the bowl. Remove any remaining membrane.
- Prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the sweetness or acidity as needed.
- Gently combine the pomelo segments, pomegranate arils, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl. Be carefull not to mash the pomelo.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad, ensuring that all the ingredients are lightly coated. Toss gently to combine. Make sure the dressing is evenly distributed.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for brightness. A little more salt and pepper can also enhance the flavors.
- Serve the salad immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired. The bright colors and fresh flavors make it a beautiful and delicious dish.
- Optionally, chill the salad for a short period before serving to enhance the refreshing flavors, especially on a warm day. Dont let it sit for too long!
📝 Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, toast a handful of pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds and sprinkle them over the salad before serving.
