If you’re still keeping up with your New Year’s resolution, or are looking to eat healthier in general, here’s a way to add your favorite ingredient to salads. It only takes a little bit of bourbon to add a lot of flavor, so our Buffalo Trace Bourbon Vinaigrette is your new best friend in the kitchen. Use it as a dipping sauce for veggies or as a marinade for chicken, steak, or pork. Just cover meat and soak for an hour in the fridge (or overnight if you can). The best part: it takes less than 10 minutes to make! And you probably already have most of these ingredients in your pantry.
-1 tablespoon minced shallot
-2 tablespoons of bourbon (we used Buffalo Trace)
-1 table spoons apple cider vinegar
-1 teaspoon dijon mustard
-1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup (we used Watson’s Barrel Aged Syrup but any pure maple syrup works!)
-1/2 teaspoon of sugar
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
-1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
-2/3 cup of olive oil
Mix together ingredients in medium sized bowl
Stir in olive oil and whisk vigorously
