Salad with lemon and pomegranate molasses is a fresh vegetable salad dressed with lemon juice and the dark, tangy-sweet syrup made from reduced pomegranate juice. It is at home in Turkish and broader eastern Mediterranean cooking, where the exact vegetables vary with the season and what is on hand rather than following a single fixed recipe.
The vegetables stay crisp and refreshing, while the dressing brings sharp citrus and fruity tartness. It is commonly served alongside grilled meats, kebabs, beans or other main dishes, and works just as well as part of a mezze spread. For a lighter dressing, use less oil and let the lemon and pomegranate molasses provide most of the flavor. At 52 calories per 100 g, it makes a light addition to a meal.
