Maple-Balsamic
Vinaigrette
Serve on any mixed
green salad. Nutrition Bonus: Bottled salad dressings
usually contain hydrogenated (artificially saturated) oils. Olive oil is high
in monounsaturated fat, which does not raise "bad" LDL blood
cholesterol as saturated fat does.
Makes about 1/3 cup
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil, preferably
extra-virgin
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp grainy mustard
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a small bowl, whisk
oil, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt and pepper until
blended. (Alternatively, combine ingredients in a small jar, secure the lid
and shake.)
