Tomato Salad with Pine Nuts and Pomegranate Molasses
Tomato Salad with Pine Nuts and Pomegranate Molasses
The secret weapon in this summery salad is the golden raisins: They're soaked in apple cider vinegar, which not only sweetens the vinegar but also transforms them into plump, sweet-tart balloons that stand up against the rich and buttery pine nuts.
