Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Salad with Maple Balsamic Dressing

Posted by Kendall Jones Tags:
Hello there!! I have a yummy salad recipe to share with you today. It's very easy to make and the dressing is my favorite part. I made this again for my family this past weekend and my dad said it's one of the best salads he has had in a while!  Another plus is that you probably already have the dressing ingredients on hand.

Autumn Salad with Maple Balsamic Dressing

 Ingredients:

dressing
1/4 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1 tsp finely chopped (or minced) fresh garlic
1/2 tsp salt

salad
fresh spinach leaves
1/2 of a small red cabbage, shredded
1 pear, sliced (or apple)
1/4 cup thinly sliced sweet onion
shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1/2 cup)
5 slices cooked bacon (I bake mine in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 in a foil lined dish)
1/2 cup sliced pecans


Combine all dressing ingredients and stir with a whisk. I like to put mine in a mason jar or screw-top bottle, keep in the fridge and shake before serving.

 Combine all salad ingredients in large bowl. Add half of salad dressing and toss. Serve with remaining salad dressing.

 ENJOY!!
