This Molasses Vinaigrette is terrific over a warm Sweet Potato, Onion and Pecan Salad. It comes from Vinaigrettes and Other Dressings by Michele Anna Jordan, and it is gluten free and vegan.

Don and I had it over Sauteed Bitter Greens and it was amazing. I just went out to my garden, dug up all the dandelions and purslane, cleaned it well, steamed it, and then sautéed with a little onion, finishing with a bit of Molasses Honey Vinaigrette. Oh my! Do you ever do that? Just go into your yard and dig up weeds to eat? Really.
