Pomegranate Apple Lettuce Salad

This is an insanely delicious super healthy salad that is perfect for a family meal or a get together with friends. It’s the perfect salad to serve along with any dish – we like to serve it with homemade pasta or pizza. It’s very easy to make, very pretty, feeds a large group and will garner you compliments! The ingredients are nothing special and most people should already have them in their kitchens. And the extra dressing can be refrigerated and used across any other salads as well.

After spending a decade in the advertising industry, I founded Cafe Zoe in 2012 as I felt the city really lacked a space like Cafe Zoe, a place where people can feel at home and be able to enjoy quality food at reasonable prices in a beautiful environment. A cultural hub and more importantly, a place for the community. We had a great run for over 7 years and closed the restaurant a few months before the pandemic hit, which really was a blessing in disguise. Being actively involved in the management of the cafe, I met some amazing people but also got exposed to all the wonderful local ingredients we have available in the country. I make a concerted effort to try and consume local as much as I can. I think one of the lessons from the pandemic is that we don’t need much to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Currently, I am enjoying spending time with my family, especially my 6-year-old daughter here in Alibaug. I am also trying my hand at growing our own veggies here whilst plotting what’s next!
