You know a salad is good when you throw a pool party, complete with pizza and cake, and the huge mixed green salad is the first thing gone! And, Yes, I do serve huge salads and big bowls of fresh fruit at little kid parties.
This vinaigrette is a cinch:
- 1/8 cup garlic flavored extra virgin olive oil (I used the organic extra virgin garlic flavored olive oil from Trader Joe’s)
- 1/8 cup good extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar (I love the white balsamic vinegar from O&CO)
- 1 Tbs pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp good salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Pull out one of your jars and give it all a good shake! Make sure to taste before tossing it in your salad. Add a bit more salt and pepper if necessary and add a bit more maple syrup if you like an even sweeter dressing.
Good quality ingredients make all the difference in this dressing.
What I did for the rest of the salad-
baby spring mix
cut up cucumber
sliced almonds
a few dried cranberries
a handful of homemade granola
