Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This Oil Free Pumpkin Maple Vinaigrette is a delicious hint of autumn in salad dressing form.
- Hummus: We used our The Best Hummus recipe; however, feel free to use your favorite store-bought or homemade hummus.
- Sweet and Tangy Play: This vinaigrette is a play on sweet and tangy.
- Pumpkin Flavor: Because the sweet and tangy are strong players in this vinaigrette, you will only get a hint of pumpkin flavor.
- Leftover Pumpkin: Have leftover canned pumpkin from another recipes? This is a great way to use up your left over canned pumpkin.
- Herbes de Provence: This is a French seasoning blend often used with poultry. We had family members who absolutely hated it in the dressing while others enjoyed it. If you have it on hand and feel adventurous, remove a small amount of the vinaigrette to a separate bowl and sprinkle in a very teeny tiny bit of the Herbes de Provence seasoning in the dressing, mixing well, then dipping a few pieces of lettuce in to taste test before committing to adding it or to the full amount.
- Salad Ingredients in Photos: Romaine lettuce, ribboned cucumbers, matchstick carrots, shredded purple cabbage, toasted pecans, red bell peppers flowers, pepitas, and Oil-Free Maple Pumpkin Vinaigrette.
- How to Roast Oil Free Brussels Sprouts: See the blog post on How to Roast Oil Free Brussels Sprouts.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dressing cannot be frozen.
Pantry Products:
