Maple Vinaigrette


If you are looking for a great vinaigrette dressing that doesn't use sugar and tastes so good you might forgo the salad and just drink the dressing, this is a recipe for you!  
The first time we made this dressing we couldn't get enough.  The second, third and fourth time we made this dressing, we couldn't get enough!!  There is something about the sweetness of the maple and the tang of the Balsamic vinegar that makes a blend that leaves you wanting more salad! 
That's a good thing, right? 

This vinaigrette works up fast and you can make it all in one 2 cup measuring cup.  

3/4 Cup light Olive oil
1/4 Cup Balsamic vinegar
1/4 Cup Pure Maple syrup
1/4 Cup Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pour olive oil into a glass 2 measuring cup up to the 3/4 cup line.  Add Balsamic vinegar until liquid reaches the 1 cup line.  Add syrup until it reaches the 1 1/4 cup line.  Add mustard until liquid reaches the 1 1/2 cup line.  Mince garlic and add to maple mixture.  Stir until well blended. Add pepper.  Continue to stir until all ingredients are completely blended and smooth.  Pour into an air tight container and store in refrigerator.  Remove from refrigerator a few minutes before you want to serve it so the oil has time to warm up.  Shake well before serving.
