SWEET AND SOUR MAPLE & APPLE VINAIGRETTE
  • Makes 1 1/2 cups
Author Notes

I have been experimenting with dressings to spice up salads, kale in particular. This is one of a few that I have been dressing up my salads with regularly. I am especially devoted to using Bates and Schmitt's organic apple cider vinegar, but I have to admit that I am not very knowledgeable about maple syrups. I think that the sweetness of this dressing would also complement fruit salads, like apples and pears with soft butter lettuce and maybe some crunchy walnuts. —dymnyno

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
  • 2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 cup olive oil
Directions
  1. Using a whisk, mix together maple syrup, cider vinegar, soy sauce, pomegranate molasses, mustard and minced garlic.
  2. Pour the olive oil into the mixture while continuing to whisk the ingredients until the emulsion becomes very smooth.
  3. Just before tossing with the salad, whisk a bit more to make sure that is is smooth.

This looks amazing! My mouth is watering just reading the recipe. Great idea, using pomegranate molasses, which no doubt gives it some zip. And the mustard is just brilliant. ;o)

i am particularly drawn by the inclusion of soy and pom.nice job and thnx much!

you mention always being on the lookout for kale dressings; here's one from my mom that i really like on spinach salad. see if it might be good for your kale. It is very hearty, flavorwise, and i think you might like it.
