Hi Madonna,
Gorgeous styling, especially, the salad in the last photo! Just had to tell you that before I forgot! I like fennel, but hate licorice , too! That goes for bananas, as well: love raw bananas but don’t much care for baked banana bread or muffins or loaves!
Pomegranates aren’t considered the fruit of the Greek gods, for nothing! Here, combined with healthy fennel, and the sweetness of apples, they truly burst with extra flavour and make this refreshing salad a true gem!

Thanks Poppy. I love this salad so much. I hope everyone else will too.
Yum, this salad looks delish! Can’t wait to try it sometime soon as I love salads.
Hugs, Lynnie
love this combo, i make many versions of this but i love the taste of honey and lime. i was just dawdling thinking i need to strip my poms before the birds get them all, but then i would have so many it stresses me out trying to use them all up! woe is me, life could be worse! such a wonderful salad i know what i will be dining on tonight~
I was very happy with this recipe. I will have to try honey next time. I did see where a blogger juiced her pomegranates and will be making jelly. That sounds good to me and another made a syrup for salads and roasted meats. I wish I had that problem. Lucky you. 🙂
Looks like a fabulous salad. Yup, me too, hate licorice, love fennel! Go figure!
I’m thrilled that pomegranates are in season. My Aldi had them for 59 cents last week. You know I’m cooking with them this week. I’m actually making a fun salsa today. Thanks for a great recipe!
I can’t wait to see what you did.
Hi Madonna, It’s so attractive and colorful (a sign that it’s healthful!) ~ I’m sure delicious, too.
Thank you for sharing the recipe ~ (and great photos.) Have a great day. ~m
P.S. I wish I had Jain’s abundance of poms as well, I moved away from my garden with the pomegranate tree and the fruit is a little difficult to source here for some reason.
It really is delicious, at least I thought it was. I am loving the chef. I have a long way to go before my photos are even half as wonderful as yours, but I’m trying.
I love pomegranate in the salad! Delicious choice!
Thanks Katerina. I was just over at your site and I see good things.
This sounds perfect! I agree, I don’t care for black licorice but love fennel, especially in salad~do you have a secret for extracting pomegranate seeds? I love them but am so lazy 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for visiting Jenna.
I have a small paring knife with a very small curved blade. I just used it to break the skin of the pomegranate and then I pull them apart. With that I pull apart the section of the pod; from there I just tickled the arils loose. You can break them apart underwater. The pith rises to the top and the arils sink, or you can open them and whack the peel side with a wooden spoon and the arils will fall out, but I usually use the first method. I hope you will try it, it is so refreshing.
Oh, one more thing. You can buy the arils in the precut fruit and juice section in your market if you really don’t want to take the time.
This looks like a recipe one of my friends would love since it has all her favorite flavors! Thanks for sharing at TTF!
I hope you will try it too.
How lovely to discover your blog, and to discover such a beautiful salad. Fennel and pomegranate are two of my favourite salad ingredients, and I have both on hand at the moment. I’m thinking that, along with some crispy potatoes, this salad will make a wonderful accompaniment to tomorrow night’s roast chicken. Thanks for the inspiration.
BTW, I love liquorice 🙂
Your dinner sounds delicious. I think you will be happy with the salad. Don’t forget to use lime. If we lived closer I would save my black jellybeans for you. 🙂
Just came back to tell you I loved the salad. In fact I like it so much, I threw one together again on the fly this morning to take to work for my lunch. I didn’t have any apple or lime this time, but I did have some dates and rocket which went into the mix, along with a quick apple cider vinegar dressing. Delicious.
I am so happy you like the salad. Your version sounds wonderful also.
Just followed the link here from your gorgeous chickpea and shrimp recipe, and realised I’ve been here before 🙂
I remember it well, now. I made it loads of times last year when fennel was in season and I had forgotten about it. Fennel season is in full swing here again right now so it’s definitely time to revisit this beautiful salad. No pomegranates, because we don’t grown them in New Zealand. So I always buy loads when they do come in from America, usually December I think, and I freeze them so that I have a year round supply for dishes just like this.
I guess I’m one of the weird ones, because I like licorice. Your salad looks so bright and colorful and healthy, Madonna! Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
Thanks for visiting Kitty. I think you would really like this salad. Let me know if you decide to make it.
Your photo’s are beautiful. I can’t wait to try your Fennel Pomegranate Salad, it looks so fresh and full of flavor. Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope you have a great weekend!
Come Back Soon,
Miz Helen
Thank you so much. I don’t know about the photos; I am still learning. I am sure you will like the salad. The combination just works.
This is going on my menu ASAP. Your salad is like a golden ray of sunshine, calling my name.
Thank you so much, you have made me smile today. Let me know what you think after you try it.
I really like the sound of this salad…crisp and refreshing.
Karen with your access to good apples I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by.
I agree that fennel is similar to licorice, but the flavor is more delicate and fresh. Your salad looks like a wonderful mingling of flavors, and healthy too!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
You are correct. It is because it is delicate and fresh, while licorice candy is harsh. Thanks for Visiting Susan. Give Bentley a hug.
This recipe sounds so unique and unusual. Just so happens I have everything to make it and family is coming to dinner. I have fennel in my herb garden and noticed that it was still green and leafy. I am going to give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing it with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
Jann I hope you love like I did. Let me know.
Looks delicious! I have fennel in the fridge and this seems like the perfect thing to use it for! Thanks for the idea!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by.
This sounds fabulous and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing and I love your photos.
Kathy, I would love your feedback after you try it. I thought is so fresh tasting.
It was wonderful! I think I will make it for a holiday party…the flavor combo was very refreshing and I’m not a dietician, but I bet its healthy and low-cal!
Your feedback just thrills me. I am not a dietician either, but all the ingredients are healthy on their own and the combination are outstanding, in my opinion. Can you tell I was happy to find this recipe? 🙂
This sounds lovely. Thank you for bringing this to Seasonal Sundays.

I don’t like black licorice either, but I do love fennel and now that you can buy pomegranate seeds in a package, they are so user friendly~this sounds so delightful, fresh and different, thank you!
Congratulations!
Your recipe is featured on Full Plate Thursday this week. Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy your new Red Plate.
Miz Helen
I love your recipes! I featured you this week. Have a blessed weekend! Mary
Mint would be a lovely addition to this pretty salad..:) My daughter makes a very similar one and lots of fresh chopped mint is added..so good..gives it another dimension..I love poms.
I have never tried mint before although I do have some in a pot on my patio. I will try it next time. I really do love this salad and if not for you I would have missed out so thank you for introducing me to the new chef. (New to me.) 🙂
Delicious! Thank you for sharing. You are one of the features today at the Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. Here is the link to this week’s party. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2013/11/make-it-pretty-monday-week-75.html Hope to see your prettiness again at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
Aha! I found it! Definitely going to pin this and make it sounds wonderful!
Amy, this is such a good salad. As much as I like lemon, try using the lime for this. For some reason it just takes it to a new level. This is one of my favorite salads and I think it might be the easiest.
