What dressing for this salad?

[corysold]

Last night for dinner I made a salad with Spring greens, caramelized butternut squash, fresh gala apple and some grilled chicken with a light BBQ sauce.

it needed a dressing, but I couldn't figure out what. Something a bit savory maybe to offset the sweetness of the squash and apples? Any ideas? Idike to make it again and think a dressing would finish it nicely.

A little minced garlic, olive oil, few drops of maple syrup, touch of Dijon mustard and a tiny bit of sherry vinegar. S&P to taste.

I like the sounds of this for any salad.

This.

Your salad is pretty hearty. It has a good amount of protein (chicken) and a lot of carbohydrates (squash and apples). Balance that out with a light salad dressing, such as a balsamic vinaigrette. I would avoid mayonnaise-based salad dressings for such a hearty salad.
