Maple Dijon Cream Dressing
Sauces, Salad Dressings Recipes
Yield: 1-3/4 cups or 7 servings
This dressing is great on a salad of baby greens with crumbled Gorgonzola and chopped walnuts or pecans, plus perhaps some chopped apples or cranberries.
- 1/4 cup extra light olive oil
- 1/2 cup salad oil
- 2-1/2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
- 3 tablespoons dark maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- dash of salt
- 1 clove garlic, scored
Whisk together all ingredients except the garlic. Add the garlic and let the dressing sit for at least an hour to allow flavors to develop. Add a teaspoon more of vinegar or mustard if you like a sharper taste. The dressing gets better overnight and keeps for 4 to 5 days.

I used this dressing on a salad of mixed greens, fresh blueberries, and pecans. Delicious! – Reviewed by Gina Lauze
This recipe is wonderful! I added the extra vinegar to give it a sharper taste. I served this over mesclun greens with crumbled gorgonzola, dried cranberries and pecans. I also marinated the shrimp in salt, pepper andmaple syrup, then grilled and served it over the top. It was delectable! This combination makes for a great summer meal - not too heavy, and very satifying. – Anonymous Review
