Maple salad dressing has its roots in the culinary tradition of North America, especially in Canada and the northeastern United States, where maple syrup is an iconic ingredient. The use of maple syrup in dressings combines natural sweetness with more acidic and spiced flavors, creating a delicious balance in salads. In different Latin American countries, this type of dressing may have various names, such as "maple syrup dressing" or simply "sweet salad dressing," adapting to locally available ingredients. Its popularity is increasing thanks to the trend of incorporating natural and less processed ingredients in everyday cooking.
This dressing is ideal for those looking for a different and sophisticated touch in their salads, highlighting the fresh and natural flavors of greens with a subtle sweetness, complemented by aromatic spices.
