Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
All year long, I like to whip up fresh salads with homemade dressings. During the summer months, we will quite often enjoy salad as our main dinner meals. The hubby is cool with salads as long as I add on some meat, ha ha. My CopyCat Olive Garden Salad Dressing is a family favorite but adding fruit flavors to our dressings has become frequent this summer.

The flavors of pomegranate with the balsamic vinegar make for a wonderful dressing. We added our dressing to a basic spinach salad topped with bunches of bacon (and hard boiled eggs) to make the hubby happy. The bacon and this dressing are a great combo.
With just a few pantry staples and some pom juice, you can whip up this Homemade Pomegranate Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing. It super simple and makes a great punch of flavor. I am considering adding it to our Pasta Salad for our next grill out. The addition of the pom flavors will be great.

You should look for balsamic vinegar that is thick and sweet from the bottle. The Colavita Balsamic Vinegar is very thin and watery. I’ve always had to cook it down to make it right. The recipe looks great and I’m making it right now as I speak.
