Elevate your salads and roasted vegetables with this tangy, sweet, and deeply flavorful Pomegranate Molasses Dressing. Bursting with the rich, fruity essence of pomegranate molasses, this quick and easy recipe blends extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and a splash of zesty lemon juice for a perfectly balanced vinaigrette. A hint of garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper adds depth and complexity, while a touch of water ensures the ideal consistency. Ready in just 10 minutes, this versatile dressing doubles as a marinade, making it the perfect addition to your culinary repertoire. Drizzle it over greens, grains, or grilled dishes for a vibrant, gourmet touch.
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.
