Maple Dijon Dressing Recipe
Description
The Maple Dijon Dressing Recipe uses maple syrup and Dijon mustard as the primary flavor components to create a vinaigrette that combines sweet, tart, and savory notes. Minced garlic adds a subtle pungency while apple cider vinegar provides acidity to balance the syrup's sweetness. Olive oil lends body and smooth mouthfeel while salt and black pepper season the mix. Whisking or shaking the ingredients together emulsifies them into a cohesive dressing.
This dressing works well drizzled on leafy greens or mixed into grain bowls to add moisture and flavor. It complements a variety of vegetables and grains without overpowering them.
Stored in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator, the dressing keeps for up to one week, making it suitable for meal prep and ongoing use. Stir or shake before serving, as some separation may occur.

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Notes
- This recipe yields slightly less than 1/2 cup of dressing, ideal for multiple servings.
