Salad Saturday #4… on Sunday

This week I used one of my favorite salad dressings EVER with some of the traditional stuff:

“What is all that healthy deliciousness?” you ask…

Red Lettuce

Spinach

Roma Tomatoes

A smidgen of yellow onion

and reduced-fat Feta Cheese (I still had some in the fridge so on the salad it went!)

I also sprinkled a chicken breast with an Italian seasoning mix and baked it in the oven to add it to the salad.

To use less dressing and still get a lot of flavor, I made the salad in a bowl with a lid and measured out the dressing. Then I covered the salad and shook it up so the dressing would get on every piece of the salad.

And, “Do tell about the dressing!” you say?

Well, here ya go: It is a delicious Maple Balsamic Vinaigrette I first enjoyed on vacation in Vermont. You MUST use a real maple syrup for it to be absolutely fantastic.  (Dreaming of vacation while eating the dressing is optional.)
