Maple Dijon Dressing

The topic of homemade salad dressing came up this week-end, so I thought I would post a recipe for my favourite dressing. Making it is super quick and easy! Again, you can say good-bye to the additives in the pre-bottled kind. You can play with different add-ins, vinegars, etc, and create a new dressing each time. The best advice I can give you before you start - invest in the best extra virgin olive oil you can get your hands on. An affordable and tasty choice is PCs New World EVOO. At $10 a bottle - it's a steal!

Maple Dijon Dressing
  • 2-3 tbsp EVOO (you'll need to taste it to see how much oil you want)
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard
  • s&p
Place all ingredients in a mason jar and shake the heck out of it. Taste and adjust to personal preference. Make sure you shake right before pouring on salad. Enjoy!

This dressing is great over mixed greens, served with (candied) pecans and blue or goat cheese!!!! Also tastes wonderful on pork tenderloin.

*Note - above dressing is enough for 2 small salads. You can easily increase qtys and store in fridge for a few days. Try the dressing with different vinegars (whatever you have), for a slightly different flavour each time.
