Creamy Pomegranate Dressing

This was the dressing for the salad I had alongside the bean dip and crackers.  The salad was to use an overflowing planter box that went bonkers after getting 8 inches of rain in December.  The dressing  attacked the condiments door of the fridge.  I made it creamy instead of a vinaigrette to use mayo.  I do wish Passover mayo came in a smaller jar.

Salad dressing is really a hidden place to save grocery costs.  The ingredients cost a fraction of what Wishbone charges, and you can customize any way you choose.  I like making my own so I'm not stuck with a big bottle.  I can make half a cup at a time to use in a week.  The recipes aren't glamorous, and are very hard to photograph, but I really like them.

*3 Tb pomegranate molasses
*1 Tb date syrup, honey, or maple syrup 
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
*1 tsp white wine vinegar 
*1/4 C mayo

1.  Place all ingredients in a small bowl.  Whisk to combine.  The molasses isn't red, it's more like a burgundy.  With the brown of the date syrup, my dressing came out a light caramel color.

2.  Taste and adjust seasonings and consistency.  A little water or milk can thin it, or add more mayo if you want it thicker and less tangy.  Chill until ready to use.

Makes about half a cup
