    Made with the oven chicken tikkis in the same book. Came together quickly, a nice use of spring radishes and cucumbers. I didn’t have pomegranate so tried some raspberries for a sweet tang.

    Decent recipe though found I needed to add more lemon juice for a good zing.

    This recipe is incredible and extremely flexible to what you have in the fridge. I made it as written once, and the second time, I swapped red onion for scallion, yellow bell pepper for cucumber, omitted pomegranate seeds, and added sprouted mung beans. Also delicious!!

    Wow! What a fabulous salad! It is delicious and has unexpected flavor profile. I was initially concerned it would be too cucumber forward (not a fan), but I used an entire English cucumber and it was lovely! I will be bringing this to potlucks and making for a nice dinner salad for us at home.

    Really interesting and tasty salad. I followed Trish's lead and replaced the pomegranate with mango, and my niece was obsessed. It was a delicious counterpoint for the chicken tikka.

    This is becoming a firm favourite, I often serve this with the oven roasted chicken tikka which is an amazing combination. It's really fresh tasting, and the desiccated coconut is delicious.

    A great salad. Very tasty & incredibly easy to prepare. Highly recommend.

    I love, love, love this and so has everyone I've served it to. So easy and so aromatic, and pretty at the same time. It takes a while to chop everything, but well worth it. Some green asparagus fits in well, too.

    Delicious! WE especially loved the chickpeas. I might try mango next time, as my husband hates pomegranate.

  • TrishaCP on May 17, 2016

    We absolutely loved this salad. I replaced the pomegranate seeds with half of a really ripe Ataulfo mango (for a half recipe), and that gave a nice sweet/tart hit to the salad. Will definitely be making this again-I think it would be good for a family dinner/potluck.
