What should I serve this pomegranate salad dressing on?

You cannot go wrong with any combo of the following: Leafy greens (kale, baby spinach, arugula, baby greens) + some type of cheese (goat cheese, feta cheese, burrata) + some type of nut (pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds) + some type of fruit (apple slices, oranges, pomegranate arils, dried cranberries).

How and where should I store this?

Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. The olive oil may get a little hard in the fridge, simply let it come to room temperature and shake vigorously to re-emulsify.

Can I use a different vinegar?

Yes! Apple cider vinegar or white balsamic vinegar will work well.

Can I use pomegranate molasses as the sweetener?

Absolutely! I decided to use honey in my recipe simply because pomegranate molasses is not a super common ingredient people have on hand BUT if you have it, you get double the pomegranate flavor!

Can I make my own pomegranate juice?

I mean, that's a lot more work but you do you boo! Blend up fresh pomegranate arils and pass through a fine mesh sieve to extract the pomegranate juice.

Instructions

Add honey, mustard, ginger, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar and pomegranate juice to a mason jar or salad shaker and whisk or shake vigorously to combine. Add the olive oil and whisk or shake again until the dressing is emulsified and cohesive.
Taste and season to your preference with another pinch of salt for overall flavor, splash of vinegar for more tang, squeeze of honey for more sweetness or pinch of ginger for warming ginger flavor. Worth noting, I do think the dressing is perfect as written but everyone has different tastes!
Drizzle on salad greens, kale salad, grain bowls or leave out the black pepper and mustard and serve on fresh fruit salad!

Notes

Separation is normal. Just give it a good shake to re-emulsify.

Store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
