Vinaigrette for Mixed Greens

3 tbsp

extra virgin olive oil

45 mL

2 tbsp

balsamic vinegar

30 mL

1 tbsp

liquid honey

15 mL

1 tsp

dijon mustard

5 mL

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl or cup.

Makes six 1 tbsp (15 mL) servings. I usually allow about 1 tablespoon dressing for every 1.5 cups (375 mL) of mixed greens.

I like to make salads from a variety of greens. In the spring I even add dandelion leaves to the mix ... delicious. Pick the leaves before the plant has flowered and only from areas that you know are pesticide free.
