I love this dressing! It's so simple and yet the taste is so complex. I ended up dipping slices of cucumber in the remains of the dressing (after eating more than my fair share of the salad) -- MUCH better than chips in dip. I did use Aleppo pepper instead of the pepper flakes or cayenne.<br/>Thanks, Umm!2Reply

Ï prepared this salad with this wonderful dressing on a lollo salad bed.<br/>I substitute the red onions with the green ones as I still have some to use and as I like sooo much.<br/>All my family enjoyed it and the pomegranade molasse came as good change to vinegar or lemon juice.<br/>Thank a lot for this recipe!2Reply
