RECIPE: A SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE

My friend Maggie recently taught me another lesson in cooking. She taught me about a secret ingredient that transforms a simple, everyday salad vinaigrette. It's fennel seeds. Just add one teaspoon the next time you make a salad and your taste buds will thank you.

Here's my go-to recipe for a simple vinaigrette:

Mix two tablespoons balsamic vinegar, one tablespoon Dijon mustard and one teaspoon fennel seeds. Slowly add 1/3 cup olive oil and whisk together. If you like a vinaigrette that is more sweet, just add one tablespoon maple syrup.

Simple, right? Enjoy!
