Most of my green salads get tossed with just some olive oil and a little vinegar. But sometimes I want the dressing to be more complex and add a bit more flavor. That’s when I make this vinaigrette.

"Her basic dressing hits all the flavor notes you want for a salad:
the tang of fresh garlic, the bite of Dijon-style mustard, and just a hint of sweet to play off the oil and vinegar. It’s as good over a simple bowl of greens as it is with a more composed salad that includes nuts, fruit, and cheese like the one we made recently."
~ Jim Dixon, founder Wellspent and Real Good Food
Step 1
Make the dressing by finely chopping 1 clove of garlic (or use a microplane) and mixing it with 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 2 tablespoons of balsamic, 1/4 cup of olive oil in a small bowl.
Step 2
Thinly slice 1/2 of an onion. Remove the apple’s core and cut it into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Toss the spinach with the onion and apple, then add small pieces of the cheese. Add about half the dressing, toss to blend, then taste. Add more dressing if desired.
