Vinaigrette: Creamy Pomegranate

This from-scratch Creamy Pomegranate Vinaigrette is so simple and savory. Simply combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender (like a Vitamix) and you have a sweet and tangy dressing all wrapped up into one pretty pink color! Yields 1 cup.

I’m always determined to make a dressing in a home kitchen. Because that’s only how I do. So when I first had pomegranate dressing it was love at first bite and I immediately set out to make it at home. But first, would you only look at that color? It’s my go-to shade of pink. And I wouldn’t mind a nail polish, blush and ballet flats in this color please and thank you.

For this Pomegranate Vinaigrette Gather:

• pomegranate arils
• olive oil
• maples syrup – Or substitute with honey.
• lemon juice
• white balsamic vinegar
• dijon mustard
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper

In your high-speed blender, measure and add a generous 1/3 cup pomegranate arils, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar and 1 heaping teaspoon dijon mustard. Season with a pinch or two of kosher salt and some freshly ground black pepper.

Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 1 minute or until smooth and slightly creamy.

That’s it!

Simply taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.

So simple.

So stunning and savory. Drizzle it over your go-to salad!
