Pro Tip:

Whenever I’m using onion or garlic in salad dressings, instead of chopping or mincing, try grating with a fine-hole cheese grater. It creates a pulp of sorts that easily blends into the dressing and carries flavor.

Shaken, Not Stirred

This dressing doesn’t require a blender, it can easily just be shaken up quickly in a mason jar so it takes just minutes to make.  I also sized it for one standard dinner salad.  Double it if you’ve got an extra large salad!

You’ll need: Pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, onion or shallot, salt and pepper.  Shake the ingredients up well and it will quickly come together in a smooth emulsion.

Try it over spinach with Craisins and toasted pecans for a simple fall salad!
