Smoky Apple Vinaigrette & Bacon Salad (Maple Balsamic & Smoked Olive Oil)

Our friends Adam and Joanne of Inspired Taste came up with these great recipes.

According to Adam and Joanne, "We are big fans of homemade salad dressing. It’s quick, easy and so flexible. Our basic recipe is to combine vinegar + Dijon mustard + something sweet + olive oil. For this, we went with apple cider vinegar and maple syrup then instead of using regular olive oil, we used a smoked olive oil. It adds a great backbone to the dressing and works so well with the bacon."

Smoked Chocolate Caramels (Smoked Olive Oil)

This recipe from Emily Stoffel of The Pig and Quill.

“Sweet, smoky, salty — I won’t lie, this caramel tastes a bit like candied barbecue sauce, but in an ohhhhh so good way. We’re talking seriously sophisticated flavor that opens with a big punch of salty smoke before melting into golden, sugary goodness. Be sure to use a high-percentage dark chocolate for this. Any less and you’ll lose the flavor to the olive oil.”
