Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. white miso
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tbsp. basil or more, fresh, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except basil in a small high-speed blender. (I use a NutriBullet.) Blend for 15-20 seconds.
  2. Add fresh basil and pulse a few times to break down and incorporate. (Over-blending will turn the dressing a greenish hue.)
  3. Taste and adjust flavors if needed. (More basil, more maple syrup for sweeter, etc.) Enjoy immediately or refrigerate to allow flavors to combine further.

Notes

  • Thickness: This dressing is very thin as written. For a thicker consistency, add 1-2 tsp. chia seeds before blending. It will gradually thicken as it sits.
  • Make it creamy: Add up to 1/4 cup hummus before blending.
  • Make it sweeter: Add more maple syrup for sweetness and to reduce the tanginess.
  • Yield: Recipe makes about 1/2 cup dressing.
