Instead of pomegranate molasses you can use 1 part honey or maple syrup and 1 part balsamic vinegar.
If you're not worried about the extra calories, feel free to increase the amount of the dressing.
The quality of the pomegranate molasses can impact the flavor of the salad. Taste it before using and if it tastes too sour, add a bit of honey.
