This homemade Pomegranate Vinaigrette salad dressing recipe is the perfect way to dress up your winter salads! It's packed full of nutrition and flavor...and is ready in less than 5 minutes! Plus it's paleo, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined-sugar free!

Who else is fully embracing the Christmas season?! 🎄🙋🏻 This is my favorite time of the year and we are just loving it! I have already inundated you with dessert recipes, and the chocolatey, sugary goodness is far from finished. However, today I’m bringing you a healthier holiday recipe that showcases my favorite winter produce item…pomegranates!

To me, salad is a must-have side dish at any and every gathering where a meal is involved. It ensures that no matter what someone’s dietary restrictions may be, there will be something for them to eat. This Pomegranate Vinaigrette is the perfect homemade salad dressing for your winter salads! It’s packed with fresh pomegranate seeds and a dash of lemon juice, giving it a sweet and tangy flavor! This Pomegranate Vinaigrette is gluten, dairy & refined sugar free! And it’s paleo and vegan,  so it’s perfect for any and every person who will dine at your table this season! Oh, and did I mention that it’s ready in 5 minutes or less!

When I say that pomegranates are our favorite winter produce item I am not exaggerating. Recently, we bought 3 cases of poms from Costco…and ate them all within two weeks. I am well aware that the thing that keeps most people from buying pomegranates is how much work they are to deseed {and consequently eat}. Well this video called The Fastest Way to De-Seed a Pomegranate changed my life. I literally can have 6 giant pomegranates ready to eat in under 10 minutes thanks to this method! Plus, if I’m having a bad day whacking a pomegranate as hard as I can with a wooden spoon is a great way to let out all sorts of emotions! 😉

This recipe is super straight forward. Just toss everything in your Vitamix {or other high powered blender} and blend away! Salad dressing is a condiment that I always make at home…because it’s SO easy! Plus, by ditching store-bought varieties you will know exactly what is in your dressings {and be able to pronounce all the ingredients}, which is always a great thing!

This Pomegranate Vinaigrette is packed full of nutrition! Don’t negate the health benefits of a giant bowl of green goodness by loading it with unhealthy dressing! Making your own dressing is a great way to nourish your body before loading it full of Christmas cookies!
