Ingredients
- 1 cup Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach
- 1 cup mini mozzarella pearls
For the dressing:
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
- 2 tbsp pomegranate molasses
- 1 tsp dried basil or 1-2 tbsp freshly chopped basil
- ¼ tsp kosher salt or salt to taste
Instructions
PREP VEGETABLES:
- Slice each tomato in half.
- Grab the spinach, stack each leaf on top of one another, roll the stack, and cut thin strips, creating chiffonade spinach cuts.
- Add the mozzarella pearls, tomatoes, and spinach in a large bowl, and set aside.
Cup of Yum
MAKE DRESSING:
- Add all the dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl—lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pomegranate molasses, and basil, and mix until an emulsified dressing forms. I like to mix for about a solid minute. This helps puncture the basil and ensures the salt is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
TO FINISH:
- Drizzle about ¼ cup of the dressing over the salad and gently toss until each ingredient is generously coated well.
- Serve and enjoy right away.
