Ingredients & substitutions
- Lemon juice – Use fresh lemon juice for this. It makes the dressing so much more flavorful, and it’s easy to get decent citrus pretty much anywhere in the country, year round.
- Salt – Never skip the salt. It balances out the flavor and highlights all the goodness of the dressing.
- Dijon – Dijon acts as an emulsifier and keeps the dressing from separating.
- Garlic – Use fresh if you have it as well.
- Maple syrup – You can also use honey or sugar as a sweetener.
- Olive oil – Use a good olive oil when making your own dressing. It makes all the difference.
- SALAD
- Canned beets – You can also use fresh if you wanted to roast them first. But I think canned are just as good for this recipe, and it cuts the prep time down by a lot.
- Mini cucumbers
- Feta crumbled
- Fresh dill chopped
- Red onion sliced thin
- Pepitas
