    Made this a couple of weeks after trying the other tomato and pomegranate salad in this book. I prefer this dressing and the lemon slices added something to the taste, but after standing overnight the onion flavour began to dominate.

    I made this recipe in the summer months, and it is certainly delicious. The recipe also has pomegranate seeds, but unfortunately I couldn't find them fresh, and once I tried the frozen ones and they looked and tasted quite disgustingly, so decided to omit them instead.

    Lemons, the ubiquitous and essential ingredient in kitchens the world over. We squeeze the juice into this and that, preserve them, grate their rind, and candy them. I have dehydrated lemon slices – not pretty but oh goodness, the flavour they added to dishes! Rarely do we think of roasting them. But that must change. Something magical happens to citrus when it hangs out in a hot oven. It takes on a sweeter, slightly-burnt complexity. The slices add flavour to any dish, but are also good on their own! This is a beautiful and delightful salad.

    The roasted lemons were very nice. This was a really light salad, though, that needed something else to be an entree. I couldn't find pomegranate but that would have made for a nice addition.

    A nice salad. The roasted lemon added a good textural and sour element to the dish. I let my salad sit for a bit before serving and the onions had softened slightly which helped mellow their flavour.

    Nice salad although I would serve this as part of a mezze rather than 'the side' or main event. I served with oven roasted salmon. The roast lemons were incredible, but I found the onion a little overpowering.

    definitely a keeper. high quality pomegranate molasses a must. After trying several, I now use "pomegranate paste" from Nader. I am lucky to have a Persian market nearby.

    With seasonal ingredients and fresh pomegranate this recipe is very delicious.

    I admit it's a bit unfair for me to rate this recipe with three stars, as I have the feeling that with better ingredients it would be a solid four for me. It didn't quite come together, and I think a lackluster pomegranate and winter tomatoes were the culprit. Also, I didn't have red onion on hand, so substituted scallions, which just weren't the best match. The roasted lemon is intriguing, but needed stronger flavors from the other ingredients in order to match its potency. Too bad pomegranates and cherry tomatoes don't come into season together around here! Still, I want to try it again with a better pomegranate and (hopefully) tastier tomatoes.

    I made a variation of this I found on the Kitchn- using the dressing to baste chicken and roasting with sliced citrus to get the charred effect. Great flavors without having to wait for tomato season. I would cut way down on the olive oil- the chicken doesn't need it. I plan to make the real recipe when summer comes around.
