Once you’ve cooked your wheat berries this salad only takes a few minutes to put together and it looks stunning. Choose a fresh pomegranate that is plump, round, heavy, free from cuts and blemishes. To remove the seeds, cut in half, hold over a sieve and whack the skin with the back of a large spoon till all the seeds are released from their honeycomb membrane.

1 tbsp	Pomegranate molasses
1 tbsp	Olive oil
