\ud83e\udd44 The dressing born from my best potato salad<\/h3>\n

This creamy maple and smoked paprika dressing, I invented it while developing my meilleure salade de pommes de terre au bacon<\/a>. When I first tasted it, I knew it deserved its own separate recipe. It’s the kind of dressing that goes on absolutely anything. Grilled shrimp, green salad, coleslaw, meat drizzled after cooking, or even as a sauce in tacos. The combination of creamy mayo, tangy Dijon mustard, tart apple cider vinegar, Quebec maple syrup and smoked paprika creates a versatile dressing with unique character.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf36\ufe0f The two tricks to make it perfect<\/h3>\n

First trick: consistency. The first time I made it, it was too thick. I had to adjust my liquid level so it would be creamy but still fluid enough to coat around ingredients. If yours comes out a bit too thick for your taste, add a little water or an extra splash of apple cider vinegar, until you reach the desired consistency. Second trick: smoked paprika makes all the difference. It’s what brings that little spicy taste characteristic that reminds you of BBQ and transforms an ordinary dressing into something memorable. You can use regular paprika in a pinch, but smoked gives a character you won’t find otherwise. My favorite is the paprika doux fum\u00e9<\/a> that I always keep in my spice cabinet.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf2e Versatile enough to have permanently in your fridge<\/h3>\n

This creamy maple and smoked paprika dressing is the secret weapon to have in a Mason jar in your fridge. For a classic coleslaw, pour it over your shredded cabbage and you have a coleslaw that’s out of the ordinary. For BBQ grilled shrimp, drizzle them after cooking and you get an incredible BBQ-smoked combo. For tacos, use it as a creamy sauce to replace classic hot sauce. For a grilled piece of meat, drizzle after cooking to add a sweet-smoky umami touch. My friend V\u00e9ronique, who I had taste this dressing, automatically took a photo of the recipe to make it at home. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
