This is from a cookbook called Simply Classic. I’ve made this salad dressing maybe more than anything else I’ve ever made. I don’t get to crazy with measuring, but the secret ingredient is the maple syrup. I toss it with bagged lettuce, then top each salad usually with a fruit (dried cranberries or other fruit, canned mandarin oranges, pears or apples, berries), a nut (sliced almonds, pecans – glazed or not, etc.) and a cheese (feta, goat, blue, parm, etc.) I also like hearts of palm and avocado. Oh and don’t forget to dip a lettuce leaf and taste it, primarily for salt and sweet, before you serve!
