Creamy Maple Balsamic Dressing
This Creamy Maple Balsamic Dressing is tangy, slightly sweet, and perfectly creamy. It's my new favorite salad dressing recipe! Toss with mixed greens, or drizzle on a Caprese salad.

Notes
- Serving suggestion: serve on a simple salad of mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella.
- For a vegan version, use vegan mayonnaise.
- You can also substitute the mayo with Greek yogurt.
- What kind of balsamic vinegar to use: I use my "cheap" balsamic vinegar for this (I always have a cheap one and a more expensive one I use for drizzling things). I find the "good" balsamic a bit too sweet for this recipe.
