Green almonds are the unripe fruit of the sweet almond tree, harvested in early spring before the inner shell hardens. They have a distinguished tart and sour taste with a crunchy shell. Green almonds are a seasonal produce mainly in the Middle East, commonly eaten raw with salt, pickled, or used in savory salads.
This vibrant green almond salad is a celebration of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Crunchy young green almonds are paired with cooling cucumbers, fragrant herbs, sweet-tart pomegranate seeds, and walnuts for depth and texture. Finished with a simple dressing, it’s light, refreshing, and packed with Mediterranean flavor.
Perfect as a side salad or a light snack on its own.
