Sarasota's Creamy Maple Brandy Salad Dressing image

This is a wonderful easy dressing. Serve over some greens (romaine, spinach or arugula) with fall fruits, apples, pears, cranberries, nuts, caramelized onions, even blackberries or raspberries are great with this and crumble some blue cheese, gorgorzola, goat cheese, grated fontina or swiss - the combinations are endless. It is just a great dressing. My favorite salad happens to be; candied walnuts, romaine, blackberries, roasted pears, and caramelized onions. It doesn't get much better. You could add some grilled pork or grilled chicken and make a very hearty salad for dinner.

This dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup or adding some lemon juice to balance out the flavors.

This salad dressing is a great way to use up leftover brandy. It's also a nice change from the usual vinaigrette.

I found this dressing to be a bit too thick. I would recommend thinning it out with some water or vinegar before using.

I'm not a huge fan of maple syrup, but I was pleasantly surprised by this dressing. The brandy and Dijon mustard really help to balance out the sweetness.

This salad dressing is a symphony of flavors! The combination of maple syrup, brandy, and Dijon mustard is simply divine. I used it on a spinach salad with strawberries and walnuts, and it was a huge hit with my family.
