Spicy Sweet & Sour Dressing

Adapted from Ken Haedrich’s Maple Syrup Cookbook

Ingredients

• ¼ cup of vegetable or olive oil

• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar

• ¼ cup of Mount Cabot Maple Syrup

• 3 tablespoons tamari or soy or coconut amino

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1-2 cloves of garlic

• ¼ teaspoon finely grated orange zest

• ⅛ teaspoon cayenne

• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ⅛ ground cloves

• ⅛ ground ginger

This dressing goes a long way to brighten up a tossed cucumber salad or umami slaw. Not that your cucumber salad was that far off before, but just, you know.

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until emulsified. Fool with the balance according to your liking by adding more vinegar, spice or sweetness.

2. Transfer to a bottle or container then refrigerate. Shake well before using. That’s it.
