Green Olive Walnut and Pomegranate Salad

This Green Olive Walnut and Pomegranate Salad was made for our Christmas table as a starter, it comes from the Gourmet Traveller site and satisfied my families passion for pomegranates.

The recipe originated from Turquoise – a Chef’s Travels in Turkey by Greg and Lucy Malouf.
