Pomegranate ( மாதுளம்பழம்) - 1/3 of the fruit

Remove the arils from the pomegranate.

Toss all of the above in a bowl. 
Add salt and a spoonful of lime juice. 
Mix well, sprinkle freshly ground pepper.
Add a handful of nuts as topping. Enjoy a bowlful  of yummy, crunchy salad.
Really a rejuvenating one.
My Notes.
A colorful salad delight to eyes and to taste buds. :))
Zucchini is one of the vegetables that is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. I alternate this with cucumber in my salads.
After a few high carb meals, a welcome change to settle with this.
I have not added any salad dressing as the salad is delicious as it is.Mostly avoid salad dressing to minimise the calories. But it is individual choice. A cup of fresh yogurt can also be stirred in, if preferred.
