barbara Recipe ❘ Quick and Easy Salad Dressing

This is my favorite dressing of all time and I usually make a largish batch and store in the fridge - it is sweet and sharp and tastes especially great with bitter greens. The trick is to finely grate the garlic (I use a Microplane®) plus the secret ingredient, maple syrup. I like my dressings sweet, but just use less maple syrup if you like your dressings more tart.

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, finely grated
• sea salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Stir together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl or cup until well blended. Mix in mustard and grated garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
