Tips:
- For easier peeling, roll the oranges on the counter with the palm of your hand before peeling.
- To avoid watery onions, rinse the chopped onions under cold water before adding them to the salad.
- If you can't find fresh pomegranate seeds, you can use store-bought seeds to save time.
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until they become fragrant; this enhances their flavor.
- Mix the dressing ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl or jar before drizzling over the salad for even distribution.
- For added protein, consider adding grilled chicken or chickpeas to the salad.
This orange and pomegranate salad is a delightful mix of flavors and textures that will surely impress your taste buds.
