Grilled Chicken and Berry Salad with Pomegranate Dressing Recipe

Grilled Chicken and Berry Salad with Pomegranate Dressing

Pomegranate molasses isn’t molasses at all but rather reduced pomegranate juice! You can find it in most Middle Eastern sections in your local supermarket and is divine in this dressing. You could also drizzle the dressing over roasted vegetables or grilled meat for an instant flavour upgrade. Substitute the blackberries for Rainer cherries when they are in season.
