POMEGRANATE VINEGAR AND DRESSING

To make pomegranate vinegar for your salads,
Cover pomegranate seeds with white wine vinegar and put in a jar with a lid. Put the jar in the sun for a week or so.
Strain the vinegar from the seeds and pour into a bottle and store it in the fridge! Then you can use it for marinades and dressings. and it lasts for months. Of course, some of use want it NOW, so you can just buy pomegranate juice of course, just mix the two-1 part juice to 2 parts vinegar and shake well! :) But make a bottle too-it's good for the little ones to watch it change color in the sunlight.


Pomegranate Dressing:
1/2 c Olive oil
1/2 c Pomegranate juice
cilantro
mustard seed
flax seeds
salt and pepper
garlic
1/2 fresh lemon squeezed in

Place all this in your little food processor and whip it up-whip it good!
How much of each? Oh...a pinch of this, a pinch of that with the spices-FEEL your way girls! This makes alot so you can store it in the fridge in a beautiful green glass bottle from DOLLAR TREE for just that much. So fun! And such a pretty color to have.

Then when you go to add it to your salad, make sure you add walnuts or almonds too or sunflower seeds or or or! Oh the choices are never ending!
