Ontario Maple Syrup Recipes from Canada

World’s Best Maple Vinaigrette

˝ teaspoon salt
Ľ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for some reason Ontario Maple Syrup works the best!!!)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
˝ cup vegetable oil (olive oil is too strong)
Mix together in a jar by hand or for a creamier dressing, use a Braun hand blender.

This dressing is particularly good on tossed green salad (mesclin) with sliced strawberries and browned slivered almonds.

Maple Milk

It may seem odd to include a simple procedure, but believe it or not, not everyone knows about this delicious drink.

1 glass ice cold milk (preferably 2%)
At least 2 large tablespoons Ontario Maple Syrup
Mix together (again that handy Braun mixer does a great job, it seems to add extra bubbles,
which thickens it without adding pesky calories!!!)
