Watercress, Pomegranate & Almond Salad

With a sour burst of flavor and the rich earthy quality of toasted nuts, this crunchy salad will leave your mouth watering for more. If you struggle with seeding pomegranates, this video explains how to handle the job easily.

Tip: Watercress and pomegranate seeds may be hard to source at the same time. There’s no substitute for pomegranate seeds, but arugula would be a good substitute for watercress in this recipe.
