Pomelo Salad from Ottolenghi's Plenty More. This guy is a genius with flavors, and this recipe ties a whole host of ingredients together around the pomelo, which is like a grapefruit but unique. We give this an enthusiastic 5?

I neglected to take a photo of the Cucumber Pomegranate Salad from NYT Cooking, which is unfortunate as it is a colorful dish. And really tasty. Pomegranate plays off the cucumber and onion, and the mint and lime juice tie it all together. We give this a 5.
