Baby Spinach
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Bell Peppers
Avocado
Extra virgin olive oil
Apple Cider Vinegar, which gives this dressing a little extra tang which is really fantastic! I love using this organic apple cider vinegar with the mother which has a great flavor. I think it gives a nice extra sweetness and depth.
Whole Grain Dijon Mustard – for a really nice flavor and texture, this whole grain dijon is a favorite in our pantry… I’d stay clear from yellow prepared mustard for this recipe.
Maple syrup
Garlic
