Simple Is Good!

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that matter most...and so it goes with recipes...

Our most highly requested recipe this foliage season has been for our...hang on to your hats...SALAD DRESSING!

This has been a real shocker, since we've always thought of it as a very simple thing. Since we've got nothing to hide, here 'tis. Our belief is that every recipe since caveman days has been stolen from somebody else anyway...

• ½ Cup Raspberry Wine Vinegar (our favorite comes from Corrado's in NJ, but use what you like...)
• ½ Cup Olive Oil (our favorite is L'Estornell EVOO from Arbequina Olives, but use what you like...)
• ½ Cup Veggie Oil (we use canola from Costco, but whaddevah...)
• ½ Cup Maple Syrup (we use Easty Long's Grade B, but we live in VT, so use your fav...)
• 1 TBSP Dijon Mustard (we use Grey Poop...)
• 1 TBSP Tarragon, chopped (don't thing of using anything but fresh...)
• 1 TSP Sea Salt

Whisk well and serve. How simple is that??? It will also stay FOREVER in the fridge.

The biggest debate, at least in our house, is the degree of sweetness. That's just as simple to adjust - take the quantity of Maple Syrup up or down to taste. This dressing goes particularly well if you add some fresh fruit into the salad mix!

ENJOY!
