Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

  2. Toss the potato slices in the oil, chilli and seasoning and place into the oven on a baking tray. Bake until soft, about 20 minutes, tossing every now and then. I often serve them with Sriracha hot sauce on the side.

  3. Whisk the ingredients for the dressing together. Taste and season.

  4. Toss all of the salad ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds, together in the dressing. Sprinkle the pomegranate on top before serving.
