I got the inspiration for this salad from Ottolenghi book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Plenty-More-Vibrant-Vegetable-Ottolenghi\/dp\/1607746212\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1543461682&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=plenty+more+ottolenghi\">Plenty More. t<\/a>his salad is the combination of late summer tomatoes and early pomegranates, I made this sometime late October when my garden still had the last tomatoes of the season, yes in California we get heirloom tomatoes right upto early November. However I noticed because the recipe calls for use of fresh pomegranates that brings rich flavor and sweetness you can get away with greenhouse winter tomatoes too.<\/p>\n<p>Ottolenghi describes this recipe as one of his favorite salads inspired by his travel to Turkey. It\u2019s definitely has plenty of Turkish-Mediterranean flavors and is incredibly delicious. I tweaked his original recipe just a bit with local California ingredients, but rest assured it\u2019s one of the best salads Ive eaten too. Try it with kebabs, shawarma, falafels or just spoon it straight into your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Btw I\u2019m working on posting a plant based sharawma recipe soon.<\/p>\n<p><a
