The spinach covers one third of our daily iron requirements, almonds supply us with unsaturated fatty acids, and pomegranates provide cell-protecting substances.

Serve with slices of bread to make a more filling and extremely tasty meal. You can also serve the salad as a side dish for a meat like lamb or poultry.
