Ingredients

  • 1 pomegranate, or a few small pomegranates
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely minced
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peel and finely mince
  • 1 jalapeno, finely minced
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste

Preparation Instructions

To deseed the pomegranate:
Rinse the fruit and wipe dry. Cut in half. Prepare a large bowl of water that you can place both hands in. Break the half of fruit in your hands under the water. While breaking apart the pieces, dislodge the seeds. They will drop to the bottom, while the white parts will start to float to the top. Scoop off the white pieces. Drain the seeds and use.

Toss the pomegranate seeds with the red onion, cilantro, minced ginger, part of the minced jalapeno, lime zest and juice.

Taste. Add more jalapeno if desired. Season with salt to taste.
