This salad may not look very different from your usual version, but the flavour and texture are spectacular. Who can resist the combination of fresh herbs, crunchy lettuce and the sweet sour tang of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and pomegranate molasses. I ate it every day in Turkey, immediately after watching the chefs prepare it.
