Ruby & Gold Pomegranate Sumac Vinaigrette | Avo & Olive

Five tastes. One bottle. You will understand after the first pour.

Most dressings are one or two-dimensional — acid and oil, maybe garlic, done. Ruby & Gold is engineered around five taste receptors working simultaneously: sweet from pomegranate molasses and juice, sour from three-layered acids, umami from Dijon and nutritional yeast, bitter from sumac tannins and black pepper, and aromatic from cumin.

Cumin is the ingredient most people taste but cannot name. Earthy and warm, it sits quietly behind the pomegranate and sumac without announcing itself — which is exactly the point. Remove it and the dressing flattens. Keep it and everything holds together in a way that makes you reach for the bottle again before you have finished the bowl.

Sumac brings a tartness that is distinct from vinegar — fruity, tannic, dry — and it is what gives Ruby & Gold its finish. The pomegranate molasses handles the depth and natural sweetness. The three-acid system handles the brightness. Dijon mustard holds the emulsion without a stabilizer in sight. Nutritional yeast replaces the savoury fullness that salt would normally provide, with zero sodium.
