This is a wonderful easy dressing. Serve over some greens (romaine, spinach or arugula) with fall fruits, apples, pears, cranberries, nuts, caramelized onions, even blackberries or raspberries are great with this and crumble some blue cheese, gorgorzola, goat cheese, grated fontina or swiss - the combinations are endless. It is just a great dressing. My favorite salad happens to be; candied walnuts, romaine, blackberries, roasted pears, and caramelized onions. It doesn't get much better. You could add some grilled pork or grilled chicken and make a very hearty salad for dinner. Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise (no miracle whip for this) |
1/2 cup maple syrup (pure maple if you have it) |
1/2 teaspoon grated shallot |
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon brandy (don't want to get a whole bottle, just get one of those little nips ... i call them airplane or hote) |
salt |
pepper |
fresh herb (optional) |
Directions:
1. Dressing - Just mix everything together and refrigerate until ready.
2. Depending on what type of salad I am making, I may add a little fresh thyme or tarragon. You can be as creative as you want.
3. Just drizzle over your favorite salad for a great change to the every day dressing.
