Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes:

  • 3 medium potatoes thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Salad:

  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ large red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • ½ large yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • ½ large green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 spring onions chopped
  • 1 bunch parsley finely chopped
  • 5 pickles diced
  • 1 handful walnuts roughly chopped

For the Dressing:

Instructions
 

  • Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crispy.
  • Prepare the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, chili flakes, and cumin until smooth and glossy.
  • Marinate the Vegetables: Add the red onion and bell peppers into the dressing. Using clean hands, massage them for 30–60 seconds to soften and infuse with flavor.
  • Add Remaining Ingredients: Mix in spring onions, pickles, parsley, and walnuts. Toss gently to coat evenly without crushing.
  • Combine with Potatoes: Add the crispy baked potatoes and fold gently until everything is evenly combined.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately while the potatoes are still crispy, or serve slightly cooled for a refreshing salad.
