Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Pomegranate molasses
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, or use a garlic press for a smoother consistency.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the pomegranate molasses, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and fresh lemon juice.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl.
Using a whisk, vigorously mix the ingredients together until they form a smooth, emulsified dressing.
If the dressing is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin it out, and whisk again to incorporate.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., add more salt or honey for balance).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Shake well before each use. Serve drizzled over your favorite salads, roasted vegetables, or as a marinade.
