Chicken Liver Salad with Arugula, Pomegranate and Figs

Rich chicken livers are a perfect match with bitter, peppery arugula, sweet earthy figs (or refreshingly tangy grapefruit) in this warm, nutritious salad with a sweet pomegranate dressing. It’s easy to make, delicious and so versatile. Feel free to add some boiled green beans, sliced mushrooms, onions or fennel to make the salad even more interesting and fun to eat. For extra crunch and texture, sprinkle some toasted nuts over.
Chicken liver, aka "nature's multivitamin" is an exceptionally healthy, one of the most nutrient-dense superfood available.
Pomegranate molasses (available on Amazon or middle eastern grocery stores) is reduced pomegranate juice that’s dark, intensely tart, fruity with subtle sweetness. A little bit of pomegranate molasses goes a long way for the dressing. When buying pomegrante molasses, make sure you get the one made from 100% pomegranate.

 
  • A few fresh figs, halved (or 1 Grapefruit)
  • 70 g Arugula
  • 1 Pomegranate, halved
  • 2 tbsp Pomegranate molasses
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 40 g Unsalted butter
  • 500 g Chicken livers, cleaned, trimmed
  • Sea salt
  • Freshl milled black pepper
  1. Half or quarter the figs. If using grapefruit, peel, removing any white pith, then cut the flesh into segments over a bowl to catch the juice. Place figs or grapefruit segments in another large bowl with the arugula. Using the sharp tip of a knife, remove the pomegranate seeds and add to the salad.
  2. Add pomegranate molasses and oil to the juice bowl and whisk to combine. Season to taste.
  3. Melt butter in a non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Season livers and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until browned but still pink in the centre. Toss with salad and pomegranate dressing, then serve.

    Hi Angie, I've been seeing a lot of recipes that include arugula and fresh figs. This recipe is very different and interesting.

    But perhaps chicken livers aren't a good match for me.

    The colors and flavors of your salad are perfect for early autumn days where fresh figs are at their prime. My Dad always loved chicken liver (a French favorite, I guess), he would have loved it. ~Nessa

    Decades ago we were able to purchase chicken livers and other organ meat. But they no longer sell it here. This looks very good.

    I am so glad we call it rocket here rather than arugula. I can never say that word :=) Anyway this looks good Angie :)

    The pomegranate molasses dressing is what makes this for me, the sharp and sweet against the rich livers sounds so good. Figs and pomegranates are everywhere in Sicily right now, so I could make this without leaving the village. Livers still a bit pink in the middle is how I like them too.

    Gee, I love chicken livers, and I love figs. I’ve never thought to have them together in a salad, so I’ll need to give it a try. I have a wonderful recipe which I’ve never posted which I think you would really like… It’s a chicken liver pâté with Port wine and figs! I think it’s time to make it and post it!

    Looking at this one, I really like how you’ve taken something as rich and full‑on as chicken livers and paired them with ingredients that brighten and lift the whole dish. At first glance I thought it was going to be a classic warm liver sauté, but the figs, arugula, and pomegranate take it in such a fresh, early‑autumn direction. It’s a clever balance, earthy, sweet, peppery, and tangy all at once. Nice

    Not a big fan of liver, may it be pork or chicken liver. Never tasted liver in salad. Unusual for me. Hehehe

    Les foies de volailles avec les figues c'est une association fabuleuse. Bravo pour cette belle idée.
