How to Make Maple Balsamic Dressing

  1. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup.
  2. While blending, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil in a steady stream until emulsified.
  3. **For Pork Chops:**
  4. Pour 2/3 cup of the dressing into a large resealable bag.
  5. Add 4 pork chops (about 1 inch thick).
  6. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  7. Remove pork chops from bag and discard marinade.
  8. Grill pork chops over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, brush the chops with 3 tablespoons of the reserved dressing.
  10. Drizzle remaining dressing over the chops before serving.
  11. **For Salad:**
  12. Toss your favorite salad greens with desired amount of dressing. Serve immediately.
  13. **For Strawberries:**
  14. In a large bowl, gently toss 1 pint of fresh strawberries with 1/4 cup of dressing.
  15. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
