🥃 Small batch salad dressing

As I don't eat a salad every day, I like to make a small batch of salad dressing, so I can use it all.

Don't you hate throwing out-of-date salad dressing away? Me too.

Also, try this small batch vegan French dressing.

🍯 Jam jar salad dressing

Usually, I make my dressings in a jam jar.

Jam jars are perfect for dressings and marinades.

• Recycling jam jars instead of throwing them out
• They are airtight
• Store well in the fridge
• Stack well
• Give them a shake to mix your dressing (they do tend to separate as they sit)
• You can easily see how much dressing is left
• Easy to wash

I also have a mini milk bottle with a lid, which I used for this dressing, which is also just the right size.

💭 Do you use fresh pomegranate?

You can of course use fresh pomegranate to make a salad dressing.

Use either (or both) the seeds or juiced seeds for a smoother juice.

You could also use shop-bought pomegranate juice if you can find it.

For this recipe, I used pomegranate molasses.

💭 Which type of olive oil?

The type of olive oil you use will really change the flavour.

I like to use a mild olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil is fabulous to drizzle over salad leaves on its own or with some vinegar, however you need to be cautious when making dressings with it.

Virgin olive oil has a strong flavour and it can overwhelm the other flavours in a salad dressing.

I recommend a mild olive oil.

🥬 How long will salad dressing keep?

This salad dressing will last up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
