Bourbon vinaigrette pairs a smoky, slightly sweet dressing with robust greens, nuts, and fruits like peaches or apples. Nice upgrade for a tossed salad.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tab Bourbon
- 1–2 Tab Maple Syrup
- 1–2 Tab Apple Cider Vinegar (even better Leopold Bros Bourbon vinegar)
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 cloves garlic
- Shallots, salt, and pepper
- 3/4 cup Olive oil or Canola oil
Directions:
- Whisk all dressing ingredients together, or shake in a mason jar.
- Store in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before serving.
Note:
To imulsify the Vinaigrette slowly pour in the olive oil in a thin stream while continuously whisking the mixture.
Serves: 8 – 1 cup
