1. 1

   Peel the tomatoes and chop them very finely on a board using a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Remove the seeds from the green and red peppers and dice them as small as the tomatoes.

3. 3

   Mince the garlic, finely chop the fresh mint and parsley, and add them to the vegetables.

4. 4

   Mix the chopped vegetables together in a large bowl.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, salt, and red pepper flakes.

6. 6

   Pour the dressing over the salad, mix well, and serve cold.

Note. Always chop the tomatoes with a knife instead of using a food processor, otherwise they will release too much water.
