APPLE SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES



Apple Salad With Pomegranate Molasses image

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." Modified from a fruit salad recipe found on http://www.dinnersanddreams.net.

For the Dressing:
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt ( kosher or sea salt )
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard (or substitute prepared Dijon mustard)
1/4 to 1/3 cup onion (from about 1/2 small onion, peeled and chopped)

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!
