My grandparents grew pomegranates, pecans and walnuts and would send us some each year. Some of my best memories are the days I used to spend with my grandmother learning how to cook with her. Whenever I make this, it's like having lunch with my grandmother again. -Wendy Ball, Battle Creek, Michigan

APPLE SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES
Delicious and fancy like. "What does pomegranate molasses taste like?... It has that deep, grown-up flavor similar to espresso that makes food taste more sophisticated. But it's not bitter and that makes it totally different in my eyes than regular molasses, which I haven't managed to love yet even though I tried hard."

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices for this salad. They're all firm and tart, which will hold up well to the dressing and the other ingredients.
- Use fresh pomegranate molasses: Pomegranate molasses is a thick, sweet-tart syrup that adds a lot of flavor to this salad. Be sure to use fresh pomegranate molasses, as it has a brighter flavor than the store-bought kind.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors to come together and will make the salad more refreshing.
Conclusion:
This apple salad with pomegranate molasses is a delicious and refreshing salad that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give this one a try!
