Vinaigrette: Put the salt, pepper, mustard and dry herbs into a small bowl, and mix together into a paste. Add the vinegar and Kalyppo, and stir well to combine. Pour in the olive oil, and whisk vigorously so that an emulsion happens. You’ll see a colour change; it’ll go from being light green to mustard. The salad dressing is ready.
Salad: Now clean the lettuce, tear it and soak in ice-cold water. It’ll fluff up and be crunchy again. Chop apples into cubes, crush the walnuts, and slice the orange slices and cherry tomatoes into half, Toss all the salad ingredients (lettuce, walnuts, apples, pomegranate, tomatoes, oranges, olives and cheese) together. Chill the ingredients for 15 mins.
Just before serving the salad, give your vinaigrette another whisk and pour it over the salad and give it a final toss.
Note: You can add any other salad ingredients of your choice too
