Feta Pomegranate Salad is a fresh and balanced dish with sweet, salty, and slightly tangy flavors—perfect for a quick and light meal.
This is one of those salads I make when I want something fresh but still full of flavor.
The combination of salty feta and sweet, juicy pomegranate works really well. Arugula adds a light, slightly peppery note, but I like to mix it with other greens to keep everything balanced.
At the end, I add a simple dressing with honey, mustard, and lemon juice—it brings everything together without overpowering the ingredients.
How to choose the best ingredients for Feta Cheese Pomegranate Salad
Pomegranate: we choose the pomegranate with well-red skin. It will guarantee that it is red and juicy inside.
Arugula (rocket): This is key for the salad—it adds a light peppery note that balances the sweet pomegranate and salty feta. Any variety works, the flavor is similar
Salad mix: Choose soft, leafy greens. I like colorful mixes—they look better and make the salad more interesting. I avoid iceberg lettuce here—it’s too crunchy and neutral for this combination
Feta: Use good-quality feta that you can cut into pieces. It should be firm and slightly salty, but not overpowering. You can also use a Greek-style salad cheese if you prefer a milder option
Red onion: The best choice for this salad—milder and slightly sweet. Slice it thinly so it blends into the dish without dominating the flavor
