7Add cucumber, pomegranate arils and olives. Adjust seasoning, then scatter mint over top and serve.This recipe yields 6 servings.Wine Suggestions: Rose and blush wines, such as American white Zinfandels, are a good beverage choice when pairing with foods that are fruity, acidic, spicy and complex, such as this salad.Comments: The inspiration for this salad is North Africa, where pomegranates are used in a variety of creative ways. The salad's secret is its startling interplay of flavors: the tartness of the fruit, the onion - the infusion of the onion is an important step, so do not skip it - and most importantly, the saltiness of the olives. The lemon removes the sharpness of the raw onion and colors it pink, an important visual note in the salad's appearance.
