I love salads with a mix of savory and sweet flavors. This week, I whipped up a yummy fall inspired salad with a maple Dijon dressing that I would LOVE to share with YOU.
Check it out!
My daughter, Chelsea took time off of work for an extra long weekend and visited home. We had some time to drive along the local country roads and take a few pics. I love when my daughter visits! 🙂
I really love this time of year in New England. So…pretty.
The sidewalks are full of leaves…
Bittersweet sneaks through the fence…
But, back in the kitchen…I mixed up a little bit of everything good. Kale, cheese, nuts, fruits….
I added a sliced starfruit to my salad….because starfruit are super cute…and tasty. (Not to mention, low FODMAP).
For the greens, I added some thinly sliced kale and some red leaf lettuce. Both from my farm CSA at Tangerini’s in the town next to mine, Millis, Massachusetts. Buying into a CSA has really helped my family eat healthier. NO doubt about that.
I like kale sliced in thin strips when I use it as a salad green.
The delicious homemade maple Dijon dressing- really compliments all of these tasty ingredients. Deeeelish!

Hi Kate! I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE this salad dressing!! I found myself avoiding salad because it just wasn’t the same without a yummy dressing, but now because of your dressing I look forward to a salad every day! Maybe you can add it to your current list of FODMAP Friendly Salad Dressings so that others can find it easily and enjoy it as well. Thanks again!!
