This easy pomegranate molasses vinaigrette is sweet and tangy with a kick of spice from Dijon mustard. Pomegranate molasses is a hero ingredient in my recipes. It's found in traditional Persian dishes like Fesenjoon, but did you know it also makes a knock-your-socks-off salad dressing? This vinaigrette will instantly elevate any basic salad.
With only five minutes of effort and six ingredients, you can create a complex vinaigrette with flavor layers of sweet, sour, acid, and a kick of spice from the mustard. Making a homemade vinaigrette is worth it as you can adjust the taste to your preference, and it tastes better when freshly made.

👩🍳 How to Make This Recipe
Taste your vinaigrette, and add more salt and pepper if you desire. Pour as much of the dressing as you like into a salad bowl and toss your salad to coat.
⭐️ Pro Tip ⭐️
Measure all your ingredients directly into the jar to save time and make this recipe as easy as possible.
⏰ How Long You Can Use Your Vinaigrette
Vinaigrette tastes so good when it's fresh! This one will last up to three days in the fridge. Make sure to keep it separate from your salad and dress just before you're about to eat. If you store an already-dressed salad in the fridge, it will go soggy.
