Olive oil & pomegranate molasses sauce brings together fruity olive oil and the concentrated, tangy-sweet flavour of pomegranate molasses. It is a simple dressing associated with Turkish and wider eastern Mediterranean cooking, where pomegranate molasses is often used to add depth and acidity to salads and savoury dishes.
Toss it with leafy greens, chopped tomato and cucumber, roasted vegetables or a grain salad, adding it just before serving. The sauce gets most of its fat from olive oil, while the molasses contributes sweetness and carbohydrates. Its bold flavour means a small drizzle can go a long way; for a lighter, sharper dressing, thin it with lemon juice.
