My love of homemade salad dressings and other condiments is a well documented fact. For this salad, I wanted a dressing that would be both dairy free . I really enjoyed the sweetness of the maple syrup and honey combined with fresh lemon juice and champagne vinegar. This dressing worked perfectly with one of my favorite salads: spring mix, white nectarines, berries and almonds.
It is a variation on this Stonefruit Salad , but really, anything goes. If you have a favorite fruit, add it in. If you prefer baby spinach leaves, they work great with a fruit salad as well.
