Maple Shallot Vinaigrette makes a hooo hmmm salad into a WOW! salad.
It’s true that a right dressing can really make a salad spectacular. It turns ordinary greens and vegetables into something you want to eat again and again. Maple Shallot Vinaigrette is one of those dressings. It has the right combination of sweet and sour that makes ordinary greens come alive.
This dressing takes a red wine vinaigrette and adds minced shallots and maple syrup for a unique taste. It’s sweet taste is a hot with my family. We’ve loved it on everything from this salad above with mixed greens with pomegranate seeds, almonds, and coconut strips to a kitchen sink chopped salad with all kinds of veggies. Try it for yourself and you’ll see why it’s a hit on our house.

This dressing is sure to be a hit. I never thought to use maple syrup. Maybe, just maybe………my kids will eat more salad because of this dressing. Thanks so much for sharing it with our Let’s Get Real readers. I am proud to call you my friend.

November 16, 2013 at 10:25 amHappy to share as always dear. I agree with you on the store bought dressings. Homemade is healthier and less expensive than anything store bought. If this dressing can get my youngest to eat his salad, you know it’s really good. He’s my picky eater. Let me know how the kids like it.
