Baby Greens With Fabulous Maple Salad Dressing Recipe
This salad is so beautiful and makes a great treat for a dinner party or family gathering. You decide how fancy you want it to look by the way you serve it. It is one of my favorite salads. Hope you will agree.

Ingredients
  • 1 Container of fresh washed baby salad greens or a Spring mix
  • approximately:
  • 1 C. sliced fresh strawberries or seedless grapes halved. You may also like Mandrin oranges.
  • 1/2 C finely Julienned carrots or grated carrots
  • 1/3 to 1/2 C. sugar glazed pecans, walnuts or almonds
  • Dressing:
  • 1/4 C. Mayonnaise
  • 3 to 4 T. Champagne vinegar (or left over white wine)
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 1/2 C. Canola or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 C. Pure Maple Syrup
  • pinch of salt
  • Whisk together or shake in a jar to emulsify.
  • (With the nuts, I usually make at least a cup and a half because of all the munching that goes on before the meal or by my husband, anytime!)
  • Candied Nuts
  • 1 1/2 C. pecans, almonds or walnuts or a mix
  • 1/2 C. Sugar
  • 1/4 C. water
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
  • Place all ingredients in a heavy or iron skillet and cook over medium heat until the water evaporates and the nuts have a sugary appearance. Pour onto a greased baking sheet and separate nuts quickly with a couple of forks. Cool. Store (yeah, right!) covered in the fridge or freeze.

Directions
  1. Place fresh cold greens in a pretty bowl or on individual salad dishes. Top with fruit, drizzle with dressing and top with the nuts.
  2. Serve and listen to the yummmmmmms!
  3. If you must add cheese, a bit of shaved ir grated fresh Parmesan would be fine with this salad.
