Baby Kale Salad with Maple Dressing

There is this amazing bag of organic baby kale greens at Costco now...they are so wonderful to make quick and easy salads with.  I make one big batch of salad dressing and use that on my salads all week.  This dressing is adapted from one of greensmoothiegirl's recipes. I have made it not quite as sweet. It is PHENOMENAL and my new favorite! I have brought it to several parties and everyone loves it!

Maple Dressing
 3/4 cup EVOO
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard (use one with no sugar)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (grade B is best)
1 clove fresh garlic
1/4 yellow onion
1/4 t Himalayan salt
pinch pepper
Blend everything in a Vitamix until smooth. Serve on your favorite salad...My current favorite (pictured) is with baby kale greens, yellow bell peppers, red grape tomatoes, carrots, raw sunflower seeds and cooked quinoa! Colorful and delicious!
