Dressing
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
Salad
- 4 cups spring greens
- seeds, nuts, or any other crunchies for topping if you want (not necessary though!)
Preparation
Shake dressing ingredients up in a jar. Taste and adjust to get it just right for how you like it.
Toss a generous amount of spring greens with just a few light drizzles of dressing – you want to get the leaves entirely coated in dressing (but not so much that they get soggy). I often use my hands to gently toss it well without breaking all the greens. Serve immediately.
