Hey, here’s a salad dressing that I also love to use as a marinade. It uses pomegranate and molasses. And you’re going to put this stuff on everything. We’re going to start with four peeled garlic cloves. And then about a/3 of a cup of balsamic vinegar. You can play around with different vinegars. Sometimes I even like to use lemon and balsamic. About a tablespoon of any mustard that you like. This is stone ground dijon, but you can use any kind of mustard. About 2 tablespoons worth of fresh parsley. You can absolutely use dried herbs, but I probably would keep it to around a half a teaspoon. About a tablespoon of honey. And about a tablespoon of pomegranate molasses. This stuff is popular enough that you can probably find it in the international aisle of your grocery store. But I promise if you buy a bottle of it, you’ll find all kinds of uses for it. It’s delicious in a marinade, on shrimp, in salad dressings. I even saw Ahmed from the Golden Balance use it straight out of the bottle on like this grilled chicken wrap. It looked awesome. Two good pinches of kosher salt. And I will say depending on what you’re marinating, you may want to take it easy on the salt. One pinch of black pepper. Then we’re just going to blend this up until our garlic is all pureeed. Then with your blender running on low, you’re going to drizzle in about one cup of your favorite salad oil. This is olive oil, but you can use any other salad oil you like. You can absolutely make this dressing by hand, you just want to mince up the garlic or run it on a microplane and mince up the parsley. As soon as your olive oil is incorporated, you want to turn your blender off. If you run this for too long and the olive oil starts to warm up, it can turn bitter on you. Give this a taste. Now is your opportunity to add more salt or acid if you like. Mine’s ready to go, so I’m going to get into an airtight container. And this stuff will last about a week to 10 days. and follow me if you’re going to find other fun ingredients to play with.

Can you do homemade scissor salad dressing?
You know you’re legally required to make Fesenjan when you buy pomegranate molasses

Pomegranate molasses is even good on vanilla ice cream
Mmmmmm… other flavors to play with

I love your cooking videos, seems ur in a restaurant kitchen, why is no one ever around? Haha, love learning from you, you’re real good at explaining the things you’re talking about🫡
Can you do homemade Caesar dressing next?
Why will it not last longer than ten days- genuinely asking
A waitress talked me into having the chef's homemade salad dressing. I forgot what it was called, but I've never forgotten how delicious it was. It was made with bacon grease, Dijon, and I think I tasted something like a raspberry vinaigrette.
Does this sound like anything you're familiar with? I have experimented a little trying to replicate it, but I can't get it right. Help!

I've never heard of pomegranate molasses — straight molasses yes indeed !
I literally laughed out loud because I actually have pomegranate molasses that I have used one time in a cabbage dish! I am so trying this recipe, thank you, I love playing with my food!
Great job, buddy, and follow this guy. If you don't want to become a salad dressing.
Though I got sued for opening the fridge, well, the salad was dressing😅
Nar ekșisi. That stuff is amazing. I love roasting broccoli with it.

I have not used this in anything
This is the only flavorful thing I’ve seen you make most the things you made seem so under seasoned and bland but it’s probably healthy just not my cup of tea lol
Ahmed from the …… …….. ?
Putting it in a canning glass jar & lid will make it keep better. And putting any acid in a plastic container leeches the plastic into the dressing. NOT a good idea.
Rolex Explorer? Or a Longines Conquest? Either way nice choice.
