RECIPE: Maple Syrup Vinaigrette

Maple dressing recipe – Several years ago, I wrote, with my mother, the recipe book Popote et Parlotte pour la Coop to benefit the Coop du Grand-Bois in St-Étienne-de-Bolton, QC, Canada, along with several other artisans from the Eastern Townships region. Maple Dressing Vinaigrette is one of the recipes in this book, a family recipe, as written by my father.

When I was a kid, the cream floated on the milk on the doorstep. In the garden, the curly lettuce and chives were ready to be eaten. The maple syrup was waiting in the fridge. A few drops of vinegar, salt and pepper. I think the weather was always nice in those days.
