This recipe is cookbook author Rottem Lieberson's own interpretation, but the taste, true to her roots, is Persian, she explains.
Read more about Rottem's family in "A Persian Grandmother and Her Secret Rosh Hashanah Recipes" and try her recipes for red cabbage, date, and beet salad, ashe anar (pomegranate soup with meatballs), and toot (Persian marzipan).
Place the olives, garlic, and pomegranate seeds into a bowl and mix well.
In another bowl, add the pomegranate concentrate, ⅓ cup of mint, and olive oil and mix until combined into a dressing. Pour the dressing over the olive mixture and stir well, until evenly coated. Add salt and pepper and mix well. Place the salad into an airtight container and refrigerate until serving.
Transfer the salad into a serving bowl and sprinkle the walnuts and remaining tablespoon of fresh mint and serve.
