Preparation
In a bowl, combine all ingredients for the tarator sauce and thin with water, if needed. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside at room temperature.
Arrange all salad ingredients on a large platter.
Preheat barbecue.
Thread cheese cubes on 6 bamboo skewers and brush with butter.
Grill the brochettes on each side and arrange on the salad.
Before serving, drizzle tarator sauce over the dish and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
Tips
The brochettes can also be prepared in the oven. Arrange them on a baking sheet and broil until nicely browned.
Parsley and mint are wonderfully complementary flavours for tiny kale leaves, which are now sold in plastic containers.
