If you are having a “I hate to cook day“, to heck with roasting nuts and just add to your salad about a cup of fruit and nuts mix.

Olive oil to the ½ line

Real maple syrup to the ¾ line

Red wine or balsamic vinegar to the top of the blue line

Spoonful of spicy brown, ale or honey mustard

Juice of 1 line

Salt, 2 pinches

Pepper, 1 pinch

Shake vigorously
