That's funny because I was thinking if you want a pretty salad you just add pomegranate seeds but they're not in season. Couldn't think of anything else that would make it fancy. Haha.
I think the trend before pomegranate seeds was flowers on top, probably with a large amount of rocket.
If you can't get pomegranate you could probably do something like pear and blue cheese.
That is fancy. What about segmented orange?
Orange can be fancy, but you need to make sure each segment is peeled with no white bits. Which is either incredibly fiddly or requires a soak in a pectin disolving enzyme.
I have done this before and it can get quite messy.
I bottled a lot last year, after using the enzyme to peel them. They worked really well & I can now add them to salads whenever the mood strikes me. I don't think I'd want to go to the effort of peeling.
