Simple Salad Dressings

It's that time of year were it's supposed to be getting warmer (but we live in Seattle so here's to hoping) and salads become a big part of our diets. No one wants to be inside standing by a hot stove so we make our husbands stand by a hot grill (and they think it's great) and we make salad.

Here are two salad dressing that are quick and easy and help us get in and out of the kitchen as fast as possible.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

4 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbs. Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbs. Maple Syrup
2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt

Whisk all in a bowl and toss with salad.

Honey Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbs. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbs. Honey
1 Tbs. Poppy Seeds
1/4 tsp. Sea Salt

Whisk all in a bowl and toss with salad.

I use both of these on a daily basis. If you don't like a sweet dressing you can omit the maple syrup or lessen it in the Balsamic Vinaigrette. Both taste fabulous with a green salad with avocados.
