In a blender or food processor, pour the molasses and vinegar in first. With the machine running slowly, drizzle in the olive oil, emulsifying the oil into everything else, adjust seasonings to taste.

You may garnish with sweet potato chips (peel sweet potato and fry at 300ºF until crispy), plantain chips (same as sweet potato chips), or coconut chips (slice fresh coconut very thin and bake at 225ºF until crispy).
