Notes
- Use bottled pomegranate juice or make your own - you can make fresh juice in a blender - just strain the seeds!
- One of our favorite winter salads features this dressing over spinach, with toasted nuts like pecans, Spiced Walnuts, sliced pears or berries, crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese and garnished with pomegranate arils.
- Serve it as a side with your Christmas dinner or Sunday roast, or enjoy it for lunch with grilled protein like chicken or shrimp.
- Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge. Let come to room temperature and shake really well before using.
- Substitute avocado oil or MCT oil for the extra virgin olive oil.
- Sub out the maple syrup for honey (it no longer will be vegan)
- There is no vinegar in this recipe just lemon juice for the acid - if you miss it you can add a tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
