Personal notes
I recently tried brown rice malt syrup instead of pure maple syrup in this recipe and was pleasantly surprised – it is more mild in flavour and less sweet, which is perfect for a salad dressing. The dressing keeps well in a jar in the fridge, so I recommend dressing your portion of salad when you are about to eat it so that the salad doesn’t go soggy.
This dressing can be used with the Friends-and-Family Friendly Salad. A photo of this dressing can also be found as part of that recipe. The dressing can be made more familiar to the “normal” person by excluding the chives and using maple syrup, but the citric acid is essential. Bring your own citric acid if you are not sure if your friends will have some. Sometimes people keep it for cleaning out coffee machines, so it may not be in the location that you expect.
