Pomegranate Salad Dressing

By lauramae

Tangy and sweet from pomegranate and balsamic vinegar, this dressing, unlike most, has fiber (from the pomegranate seeds). It’s nice and thick and will coat the greens well.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (about half of a large pomegranate)
• 1 Tbs. medium quality balsamic vinegar (aged)
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup grapeseed oil
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the arils from a pomegranate, measure 1/2 cup for this recipe and use the rest for another purpose (perhaps sprinkling on top of your salad).

Put arils and remaining ingredients in a high-powered blender, blend.

I often add salt (and usually pepper) to salad after it’s tossed, but you can add some to the dressing if you like.

Yield: 1/2 cup, enough to dress four large dinner salads
