Anne's Famous Smoky Dressing (Fig, Maple, Pear or Mango Balsamic & Smoked Olive Oil)

At the Farmers' Markets, many of you have asked me to relay my recipe for this dressing. After repeating it about 100 times, I  decided it would be much more efficient to just add it to this blog!

What you will need:

  • 1 part cup Smoked Olive Oil

  • 1 part Extra Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 part balsamic vinegar (a variety of flavors will work but my favorites are fig or maple dark balsamic vinegar and mango or pear white balsamic vinegar)

  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

  • Fresh ground pepper and salt to taste

I use any bowl or dish good for whisking. You simply combine all of the ingredients and whisk together. Then done! It is a basic vinaigrette but the smoke makes it taste earthy and very rich. It's so easy – I just make enough each night for my salad so it is always fresh.
