Look for pomegranate molasses in Middle Eastern markets and health-foods stores. Its strong flavor makes this dressing better suited to pasta salads than green salads. As a marinade, it's best with pork, dark-meat chicken, and salmon.
Made for CL's Mediterranean Grilled Chicken Kebabs and needed only half the recipe. Worked great. I think it would be good on salad greens - next time. Found the molasses at New Seasons but not with the other molasses. Ask someone in the grocery dept. Interesting new ingredient!
Besides the fact that this takes a long time to make and the ingredient list is a mile long, I really like it. And it's nice that you can use it for more than one recipe, nit to mention that you can just use it for salad as well.
Here's a recipe for Pomegranate Molasses 4 cups pomegranate juice 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice In a large, uncovered saucepan, heat all ingredients on med high until sugar has dissolved and the juice simmers. Reduce heat to maintain simmer. Simmer for about an hour until it has a syrupy consistency and reduced to 1 to 1 1/4 cups. Store in refrigerator. More sweeter-add more sugar while you are cooking it.
