French-inspired salad

After spending 2 months in France this summer, I was inspired to make a salad like the ones I frequently ate at cafes. The dressing is the real star of this salad, and its delicious!!!


Dressing:
(Adjust the ingredients depending on how much salad you want to make)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Vegenaise
1 tablespoon Grey Poupon dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
Pinch of brown sugar (you can also use a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown rice syrup)
Salt and pepper to taste


Whisk all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.


For the salad:
About 4-5 cups spinach or baby mixed greens
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
1/2 avocado, sliced
4-5 small red potatoes, boiled (skin on) and sliced


Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, drizzle dressing and toss.


Enjoy!
