- 1 pomegranate
- 2 9/14 oz watercress
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lightly crushed fennel seeds, lemon juice, orange juice, and olive oil. Season with a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set the dressing aside.
-
Step 2.
Roll the pomegranate firmly on a hard surface a few times to loosen the seeds. Cut it in half. Hold one half over a bowl (placed in the sink to catch splashes) and bash the seeds out with a wooden spoon. Remove any white pith from the seeds and drain off excess juice. Transfer the seeds to a large mixing bowl.
-
Step 3.
Add the orange segments, finely chopped red chilli, watercress, and very thinly sliced fennel bulb to the bowl with the pomegranate seeds.
-
Step 4.
Pour the dressing over the salad, toss well to combine, and serve immediately.
