ISO - Pomegranate Vinaigrette

[DFen911]

Ok I'm flipping out. I used to have a great pomegranate vinaigrette recipe. I cannot find it anywhere!! I have searched the internet far and wide and none of them look familar. Sheesh how hard can it be?

Do any of you have a tried and true recipe for it? I have this big dinner party tomorrow I'm doing and need that for the salad.

I know vinaigrettes are very easy to make...but I just cannot seem to get the balance right on them so they taste good. Lol even had this problem in school.

Thanks!! (runs back to the kitchen to continue making pasta dough)

Wish I could help, Denise, but haven't made that - someone will be by soon.....

Sorry, Denise, I can't help you either, but I have the same problem you do-I'm vinaigrette balancing deficient, I guess

Go back to your pasta, I'll look around a bit for you.

Denise, This really is not at all what you are looking for. It is just a good viaigrette we tried (that someone here posted). I often just make an olive oil, orange juice shallot vinaigrette (I just wing it) toss with greens and add pomegranate and apple to it, balsamic too.
