This bright green pea and pomegranate salad is just the burst of colour your Sunday spread needs. Sweet peas and juicy pomegranate make for a cheerful light salad that works well as a side.

Cape Town foodie Siyanda Jayiya is a consulting chef at The Milk Restaurant and Bar and La L Cucina lifestyle boutiques offering a modern take on African cuisine in Khayelitsha, and he owns a catering company called SJ Events.

Try Jayiya’s split pea and pomegranate salad. It is easy to make and hardly steals a second from your Sunday cooking. Try it with a juicy roast dinner as the plant-based extra that will add a refreshing twist as a side.

THE NEW FACE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE

With 21 global awards in the first six years of its existence, Food For Mzansi is much more than an agriculture publication. It is a movement, unashamedly saluting the unsung heroes of South African agriculture. We believe in the power of agriculture to promote nation building and social cohesion by telling stories that are often overlooked by broader society.
