This Pomegranate Bulgur Salad with salted ricotta is a tasty light meal for a summer evening, picnic or potluck. It’s not just a very delicious and refreshing meal on a hot summer evening but it’s also a party for the eye with all the bright colours and different textures. The snow-white colour of the salted ricotta strikingly stands out in the salad against the vivid green colour of the fresh herbs, the pink-red color of the pomegranate seeds and the light green colour of the cucumber and celery. In terms of flavour, the sweetness of the pomegranates and dates contrast beautifully with the salty crumbly, salty ricotta, and the nutty bulgur.Read More

I got inspired to get creative in my kitchen. Last year we visited friends and they served us large fresh chocolate covered dates. They were so delicious that I couldn’t get enough of them. Today I have tried to recreate these delicious treats by pitting my fresh dates and giving them a warm chocolate bath.Read More
