Cucumber & pomegranate salad with cumin and lime

Name: Cucumber & pomegranate salad with cumin and lime
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 6
Ingredients: ¼ tsp cumin seeds; 500 g cucumber, diced; ½ small red onion, diced; 1 red chilli, halved, deseeded and cut into slivers; 2 tbsp torn mint or chopped coriander, or a mixture; 2 tbsp lime juice (or 2 tbsp lemon juice); 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Diana Henry's simple, fresh salad adds a fantastic burst of colour to the table. It’s particularly good with any sweeter meat dishes (such as leg of lamb with a harissa and honey or pomegranate glaze).

Angela Hartnett cooked this recipe for Nick Grimshaw and guests Stephen & Anita Mangan on episode 17, season 3 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast. She served it with Palestinian slow-roast lamb, and paired the meal with a negroni cocktail and Los Tontos Sabios, a lively organic Spanish wine.
