Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad dessert? First, letʼs prepare the dressing. Take liquid honey, not yet sugared. If you only have crystallized honey, melt it on the stove over low heat or in the microwave.

Step 2

Step 2
In a bowl, combine olive oil, orange juice, liquid honey and a pinch of pepper. Beat everything with a fork or whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Step 3
Prepare the rest of the salad ingredients. Rinse the greens thoroughly and dry. You can use any greens. I have a bunch of arugula and a few sprigs of basil. You can replace these greens with a ready-made salad mixture, as well as fresh spinach or other greens to taste.

Step 4

Step 4
Separate the pomegranate into grains.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the orange and remove the white soft part that is bitter, and cut into semicircles. In the video I show you how to properly peel an orange without any hassle.

Step 6

Step 6
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Peel each half and cut into slices. I cut it into semicircles — this is how the avocado looks beautiful in a salad. It is important to peel the avocados in this order. After all, avocado contains essential oils and after removing the peel the fruit becomes slippery. You may cut yourself when cutting it in half.

Step 7

Step 7
Place arugula and basil on a dish; large leaves can be torn with your hands. Scatter avocado and orange slices on top. Sprinkle the salad with pomegranate seeds, pistachios and crumbled cheese. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and serve. Bon appetit!
