🍁 Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil: the base of this dressing, olive oil adds deep flavor and is the foundation to mix other ingredients
• Apple cider vinegar: a touch of acidity from vinegar balances the mustard, and adds strong flavor
• Maple syrup: a touch of maple syrup for sweetness, adds a fall flavor profile
• Dijon mustard: adds a burst of flavor and texture, but also serves as an emulsifier for the dressing
• Seasonings: a touch of salt and pepper for flavor balance
• Recommended tools: salad dressing shaker or glass jar with lid

🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)

1️⃣ Step One: Combine dressing ingredients

First, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small jar, bowl, or salad dressing shaker.

2️⃣ Step Two: Mix until well combined

Then shake the jar or salad shaker, or mix with a whisk if using a bowl, until the ingredients are well combined and form a thicker, viscous texture.

3️⃣ Step Three: Serve or store dressing

Serve dressing immediately, or store covered in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Shake well when using again.

💡 Ideas for serving

• As a salad dressing. This is my go-to salad dressing recipe and is perfect for all types of salads, both lighter and heavier greens.
• On top of roasted vegetables. Toss this dressing with roasted vegetables like brussels sprouts and broccoli for a sweet and tangy flavor.
• As a drizzle for grain bowls. Add a drizzle of dressing on top of fall grain bowls for deep autumn flavor.

🧊 How to store and reheat

1. Refrigerator storage: Store in an airtight container or jar in for up to four days. Shake well before serving.
2. Freezer storage: I don’t recommend freezing this dressing, it’s better made and used fresh.
