Maple Syrup the Natural Sweetener
Pure maple syrup is a favorite natural sweetener. Pancake syrup is different than pure maple syrup. This is one recipe where I would not skimp and use a maple syrup know off.
Drizzle This Salad Dressing Over a Healthy Salad
This is perfect for mixing with baby greens and just as delicious serving over a hearty iceberg lettuce salad.
Whether the salad consists of just greens or has the addition of nuts, cheese, and fruit, this vinaigrette really adds a lovely flavor to the ingredients.

If refrigerated, the salad dressing will last 4-5 weeks. However, the olive oil does solidify when refrigerated. Therefore, bring the dressing to room temperature, give it a mix or shake and it is ready to use.
