How to Make Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Using my high-powered Blendtec Classic to make pomegranate vinaigrette means it’s done in a snap!
- Add all the ingredients to the blender.

- Increase the speed until the dressing is smooth.
- Taste for flavor and add seasoning as needed.
Blentec Classic Features
The Blendtec Classic has a 3-horsepower motor with 1575 watts of power so it pulverizes the pomegranate seeds, so the pomegranate vinaigrette is smooth and creamy. Here are some of the other features:
- Smart jar design pushes ingredients back down to the blades so nothing gets stuck to the sides
- Pre-programmed cycles include smoothie, clean, 60 seconds & 90 seconds
- Easy to clean-simply wipe the blender, add 1 cup of water with a single drop of dish soap & blend for a few seconds
- Dishwasher-safe jar

How to Serve Pomegranate Vinaigrette
I like to serve this salad dressing over a simple winter salad of mixed greens with cucumbers, walnuts and fresh pomegranate seeds. You might also try it on our Apple Cranberry Spinach Salad. Pomegranates pair well with arugula, spinach and kale and are especially tasty when combined with fresh orange segments, and feta cheese, too. Check out this article for more ideas about what to put in your salad.
