20 minutes
Citrus-pomegranate salad with red onion and spicy honey dressing is a vibrant blend of freshness and zest. Its roots trace back to Mediterranean cuisine, where fruits and spices play a key role. The sweetness of oranges and grapefruits harmonizes with the slight bitterness of red onion, while pomegranate seeds add a touch of tartness. The spicy honey dressing with white wine vinegar and chili pepper gives the dish richness and depth of flavor. The salad is perfect as a light standalone dish or as an accompaniment to main meat and fish dishes. It refreshes on hot days and delights the eye with its bright colors. The perfect combination of fruits, spices, and aromatic herbs makes it not only tasty but also healthy.
