    Can You Make it ahead of time

    Yes, you can make an orange pomegranate salad ahead of time. However, it's best to keep the components separate until you are ready to serve to keep the salad fresh and avoid the greens from wilting. This method should keep the salad fresh for up to a day. Just avoid adding the vinaigrette for too long in advance, as it can make the greens wilt.

    How To Store it?

    To store an orange pomegranate salad, you should separate the different components and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Here's how you can store the different components:

    • Oranges: Peel and segment the oranges, then store them in an airtight container or plastic bag.
    • Pomegranate seeds: Place the seeds in an airtight container or plastic bag.
    • Greens: Wash and dry the greens, then store them in an airtight container or plastic bag.
    • Vinaigrette: Mix the olive oil, vinegar or lime juice, salt, and red chilli flakes and mixed herb together and store it in an airtight container or small jar.

    When you're ready to serve the salad, take out all the ingredients from the refrigerator and assemble them on a bowl. Toss the salad ingredients with the prepared vinaigrette, and serve.

    It's best to consume the salad within a day to ensure the freshness of the greens. If you have leftovers, it's best to consume it within the next day.
