Accompaniments

Breads: Focaccia, garlic bread, toasted pita, or crusty baguette slices.

For an extra touch: Add toasted walnuts, pine nuts, or a little crumbled feta cheese.

Directions

Step 1

Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it into quarters, and core it.
Step 2

Rinse the cabbage under cold water and dry thoroughly. Slice it into thin strips.
Step 3

Peel the carrot and grate it with a coarse grater or cut into thin strips.
Step 4

Wash the figs and dry them thoroughly. Cut them in half.
Step 5

Thinly slice the red onion.
Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, honey, mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gradually add the olive oil while whisking with a fork or a small whisk.
Step 7

Place the vegetables in a large bowl. Pour about two-thirds of the vinaigrette and toss with two spoons to coat evenly. Let it rest for five to ten minutes.
Step 8

Fold in the pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley. Toss gently to avoid crushing the seeds. Add the remaining vinaigrette only if needed, and serve immediately.
Step 9

Enjoy!

Notes:
Pomegranate is considered a superfood, packed with antioxidants. It is used in New Year celebrations across many cultures as a symbol of prosperity and good luck, making this salad perfect for the holidays.
