Sometimes some of my favorite recipes come from trying to find ways to use jumbo bags of carrots from Costco! This salad is one of those recipes. It’s Sunday so I’m not working; I made a stew and had some carrots leftover. My son likes maple-glazed carrots, so I made him some for lunch and then I looked at my salad bowl. Why not add them to my salad?! It was a good experiment.
I’ve talked before about my husband’s limited vegetable preferences. He, of course, is not a carrot lover, but if they are coated in a little maple syrup – that is a different story! However, since he’s not a vegetarian, he added 4 gluten-free chicken nuggets to it, and he ate a huge bowl. I am just happy that he ate his carrots!

Tip: (1) I didn’t have any fresh lemon when I was making this dressing. So I used Young Living Lemon Vitality Essential Oil. You can use this for so many things, not use cooking. I talk about using essential oils in cooking here. You can purchase the lemon essential oil here. Or, feel free to substitute 1 tablespoon of lemon juice instead. (2) This salad only requires 2- 3 tablespoons of dressing, so you will obviously have remaining dressing. But I stored it in the fridge and have been using it on so many different salads. (3) It serves two large salads as a full meal, or you will have 4 – 5 side salads. Salad Maple-Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing

This looks soooo delicious! I can’t wait to try it out at home. I’m a sucker for any salad stocked up with lots of yummy toppings.
This looks appealing and will be fun to try out…Salad is always a good choice and having options is even better
wow i dont usually like salads but this looks really nice
The photo alone caught my attention, because it looks delicious! Adding to this the fact it’s gluten-free, makes it a winning recipe I need to try!
Wow I’ve never thought about putting syrup on carrots before but I could definitely see myself eating them this way! I don’t like raw carrots but don’t mind cooked carrots, so these might be really good!!
During the week, we have been eating salads, and this is a great salad for us to try out.
