I made another new recipe yesterday, just a simple thing for a homemade salad dressing. We ate light last night, a grilled chicken salad. We’re trying to eat healthier and lighter, and it’s easier in the summer. In the winter, I tend to want to bake a lot, make heavier dishes, casseroles, chili, soup, stews, etc. So, it’s easier in the summer to justify having just a big salad for supper.
I found this recipe at my favorite foodie blog, Sweetnicks. Cate always posts really good recipes. Everything I have tried from there has been delicious. Thanks Cate!
I think this recipe is now my new favorite. I still really like the Honey Mustard salad dressing I’ve been making for years, but this one is really good too. Hard to pick!
Here’s the recipe, and it can also be found here on Hambones.org. Along with all of my other favorite recipes!
Maple-Mustard Salad Dressing
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Yield: about 3/4 cup
Stacy’s Notes – Made June 2006. Didn’t have shallots, so I substituted 1 T finely diced red onion. Served this on a grilled chicken salad – yum, a definite keeper!
Sounds great! I may have to borrow this one. I could use FF syrup instead of the regular…probably won’t taste as good but it’s worth a try!
Sounds great! Not that I cook, but my husband hates salad dressing that is creamy (ranch, bleu cheese, especially honey-mustard or anything involving mustard which is weird because he loves normal mustard), while I absolutely love all salad dressings.
hmmmm…maple mustard…
i am not a big fan of maple syrup. too sweet for me. how was it? super sweet? or did the mustard offset the syrup enough to knock the sweet factor down a notch or 2?
