Method
step 1
For the salad, finely slice the red cabbage, then core and finely slice the apples. Cut the pomegranate in half and take out the kernels, removing any white pith and saving the juice for the dressing.
step 2
For the dressing, whisk together the pomegranate molasses and juice, vinegar, ginger, soy and honey, then whisk in the oil and season to taste.
step 3
Mix the cabbage, apples and pomegranate seeds in a large salad bowl and toss in the dressing. Just before serving, toss once more, season with salt and pepper, and tear over the dill.
