Low-Fat Maple Walnut Vinaigrette

I am a huge salad fan. HUGE fan. I've been known to eat salad three times a day. Seriously though. I have a unique salad-related talent. I can turn just about anything into a salad. Anyone who thinks salads are "boring" needs to spend a week with me. At the end of that week their mind will be spinning. (pun definitely intended)  And salad will be their new best friend. 

I can get quite creative when it comes to toppings and dressing up my beloved salads. I'll use anything from hummus to mustard (yes, yellow mustard). And sometimes... I don't even use dressing. (gasp!) Because I make the most incredible salads (no modesty here...) that they don't even need it. But sometimes I just want a good old traditional dressing on my salads. And since I try to eat healthy as much as possible, I really get excited when I find a new low-fat recipe to try out. Occasionally I just throw some ingredients together, spoon-tasting til I'm satisfied and then pour it over a bed of gorgeous greens. But I found a recipe over at The Yummy Life (www.theyummylife.com)and decided to give it a try. And with some minor adjustments, it made the perfect dressing to serve over a salad I brought to dinner on Mother's Day. Everyone loved it and nobody knew it was low fat! Ps. When it comes to flavor, a little of this dressing goes a long way!
