For the Maple-Dijon Dressing
- 3/4 cup olive oil

- To make the dressing add all of the dressing ingredient to a mason jar, screw on the lid, and then give it a shake. Shake again right before dressing the salad,

Notes
If you don't want to make a homemade dressing, a store-bought poppy seed dressing would also be a great choice. I like the Briannas brand.
If you want to add some feta cheese to this salad you sure can! I think it would be a really nice addition.
