Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ c pomegranate juice unsweetened preferred
  • 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp yogurt or sour cream, optional will help to keep the vinaigrette from separating
  • 2 Tbsp agave, maple syrup or honey omit if using sweetened pomegranate juice
  • ¼ Tbsp minced shallot or 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ c extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the ingredients, except the oil, into a mixing bowl.
  • Use a wire whisk or fork to beat well, until it is cloudy and foamy.
  • While whisking, slowly pour in the olive oil.
  • Taste and adjust flavors as needed. See above "Vinaigrette Flavors" section for guidance on balancing the flavors to your preference.
  • This vinaigrette will stay fresh in the refrigerator for at least 1 one week. If the olive oil solidifies after refrigerating, heat it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
