Ingredients

BALSAMIC POMEGRANATE VINEGAR:

  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 4 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon honey

POMEGRANATE VINAIGRETTE:

  • ¼ cup pomegranate balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard - up to 1 ½ teaspoon is nice.
  • 2 teaspoon shallot - finely minced
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon water - to make dressing thinner.

Instructions

  • 1. In a small sauce pan combine pomegranate juice, vinegar and honey. Simmer on medium low to medium heat until mixture has reduced and becomes syrup like. About 10 to 15 minutes.
    Either, drizzle olive oil over salad greens, then balsamic pomegranate dressing. Lightly toss.
    Or, make the vinaigrette by combining the balsamic pomegranate reduction with dijon mustard, salt & pepper to taste. Then add a little bit of finely minced shallot, if you like. 1 to teasppons are just fine. Whisk, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil while still whisking. To make the dressing thinner, add 2 tablesppons water, and mix. Allow to chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes, so the flavors have time to develop. Enjoy!

Notes

My Tip: I choose to use shallot in my dressing because they are a bit sweeter than a regular onion, and their flavor is more subtle. If shallots are not available, you can substitute it, either with 1 teaspoon spring onion/scallion (the white base of a scallion only), or with just ½ teaspoon finely minced red onion instead. However, I do not recommend using garlic with this dressing. It would be too strong!
