Put all ingredients in the container of a Vitamix, (or another high-powered blender).

Notes
StoreIf you don't plan on using the pomegranate dressing right away, or have leftovers, store it in an airtight container with a lid in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I love this salad dressing bottle - I use it all the time. But any glass or ceramic vessel with a lid works well.Ingredient Substitutions
Pomegranate seeds. You can use pomegranate juice to make this recipe, and then there would be no blending required. However I love the nutrients added from using whole seeds!
Olive oil. Any neutral oil works well in this recipe. I recommend avocado oil or canola oil if you don't have olive oil.
Maple syrup. The maple flavor really adds to the fall/winer taste of this dressing, however you can substitute honey with great results.
White balsamic vinegar. Regular balsamic vinegar tastes great in this recipe too, however the color will change if you use a dark balsamic. Apple cider vinegar also tastes great.
Dijon mustard. Substitute your favorite mustard, but please don't leave it out. The mustard acts as an emulsifier and keeps the dressing from separating!
