Maple Cider Vinaigrette

We have made the Super Salad several times and we LOVE the salad dressing! So, I wanted it to be posted by itself, so that I could search it and read it by itself. So, here it is...just for me!

I have been wanting to buy this salad dressing bottle from Amazon.com
so I thought that this would be the perfect place to add a link to it. Score!

Maple-Cider Vinaigrette
  1. 1/3 cup cider vinegar (if you can, use something murky like Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar)
  2. 1 green onion, trimmed about 1" on top and the "hairy" root end on the bottom
  3. 1 teaspoon Creole or mild coarse grain mustard
  4. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  5. A few cracks of fresh black pepper
  6. 2/3 cup real maple syrup (Experiment with using a bit less.)
  7. 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use our garlic olive oil)
  8. Instructions
    1. In the jar of your blender, combine the vinegar, onion, mustard, salt, pepper, and maple syrup. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Set aside.
    2. In a very large bowl, combine the broccoli, kale, cherries, and sunflower seeds. Drizzle about 3/4 of the dressing onto the salad and toss to coat evenly. Add more dressing if desired. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
