Frequently Asked Questions About Pomegranate Salad Dressing
How do you make pomegranate salad dressing?
Pomegranate salad dressing is easy to make with olive oil, pomegranate molasses or juice, lemon juice or vinegar, and salt. Shake the ingredients in a jar until combined, tasting as you go so the tart pomegranate does not overpower the dressing.
What does pomegranate salad dressing go well with?
Pomegranate salad dressing pairs well with peppery greens such as arugula, as well as salads with walnuts, feta, roasted vegetables, or beets. Its sweet-tart flavor also works with grain bowls, especially those featuring lentils or quinoa.
Is pomegranate salad dressing the same as pomegranate molasses?
No, pomegranate salad dressing is not the same as pomegranate molasses. Molasses is a thick, tangy pomegranate reduction that can be an ingredient in the dressing; the dressing is usually thinned and balanced with oil and other seasonings.
Can you use pomegranate molasses in pomegranate salad dressing?
Yes, pomegranate molasses works well in pomegranate salad dressing and gives it a concentrated tangy-sweet flavor. Start with a small amount, then add olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar to make it pourable and balance its intensity.
How do you make pomegranate salad dressing less sour?
To make pomegranate salad dressing less sour, whisk in a little honey or maple syrup, or add more olive oil. Add small amounts at a time and taste after each addition, since pomegranate molasses can vary considerably in sweetness and acidity.
Does pomegranate salad dressing need to be refrigerated?
Yes, refrigerate homemade pomegranate salad dressing, particularly if it contains fresh pomegranate juice, garlic, or other fresh ingredients. Keep it in a sealed container and let it sit briefly at room temperature if the olive oil firms up.
How long does homemade pomegranate salad dressing last?
Homemade pomegranate salad dressing made with fresh juice is best used within about 3–4 days when kept covered in the refrigerator. Discard it if its smell or appearance changes, and shake it well before serving because the oil may separate.
Can you make pomegranate salad dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can make pomegranate salad dressing ahead and refrigerate it in a sealed jar. Shake it before serving to recombine the ingredients, and dress leafy greens just before eating so they do not become limp.
Can pomegranate salad dressing be made with fresh pomegranate?
Yes, use fresh pomegranate juice for a lighter, fresher-tasting pomegranate salad dressing. Press or blend the seeds and strain the juice before mixing it with oil; whole seeds are better sprinkled over the finished salad than used as the dressing base.
Can pomegranate salad dressing be used as a marinade?
Yes, pomegranate salad dressing can flavor vegetables or chicken as a short marinade, provided it does not contain ingredients that spoil quickly. Its acidity adds brightness, but a dressing with lots of oil or sweetness may need adjusting before cooking.

What is Pomegranate Salad Dressing?
Pomegranate Salad Dressing brings the fruit’s sweet-tart flavour to a salad, often with oil and an acidic ingredient such as vinegar or lemon. At home, it can be made with pomegranate molasses, while bottled versions vary in sweetness and ingredients. Its vivid, tangy taste adds contrast to mild greens and vegetables.
In Turkey, similar dressings are drizzled over everyday salads with lettuce, rocket, tomato, onion or walnuts, and they also suit roasted vegetables. Elsewhere, try it with leafy salads, grain bowls or grilled vegetables; start with a little, as the flavour can be quite assertive. It is mostly a source of fat and provides very little protein. For a lighter dressing, use less and thin it with lemon juice or vinegar.
