Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 ½ Tablespoons balsamic vinegar high-quality, aged
  • 4 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil high-quality
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove, pressed or finely minced
  • ¼ + ⅛ + ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste, fine sea salt
  • black pepper to taste, freshly ground
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the ingredients to a jar and shake really well until emulsified. Be sure to taste test for salt levels, and enjoy! Otherwise, whisk together all ingredients except for the oil; then, while whisking, drizzle in the oil until combined.
  2. Be sure to taste test and adjust salt and pepper levels. See the post for more details on variations and adjustments. Toss with your favorite salad or use as desired.
  3. Store in an airtight container (the jar if using that method) in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. If it hardens, simply let it come to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes and give it a good shake before using.

Notes

  • Serving size: makes just over 1/3 cup of dressing, which will serve about 6 with a scant 2 tablespoons of dressing per serving.
  • Simple Salad: toss with mixed green, seeds or nuts, and dried fruits.
