Tasty Salad Dressing

My sister, Holly gave this recipe to me a couple of months ago and I tried it and loved it, but forgot about it until I used it again today. It calls for:

3 Tablespoons Vinegar (I used a Raspberry Vinegar, but you can adjust according to the type of salad)
3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (I didn't have the authentic stuff, so I used just regular pancake syrup and it was fine)
1/3 Cup Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon flax seed oil (I didn't have any, so I left it out)
1 Tablespoon Sour Cream or Creme Fresh
1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 Teaspoon Salt and a little fresh ground pepper

Holly also mentioned that she will normally puree whatever fruit she is putting in the salad like strawberries, raspberries, etc. and mix that into the dressing. I used strawberries today and mixed everything up in the blender and then tossed it with spinach, sliced strawberries, and candied pecans. It was PERFECT for a Summer's day!
