Looking for a way to sweeten up your New Year's Resolution? Just add maple syrup! It adds an all-natural, unrefined sweetness that you just can't get with regular table sugar, and it can be used for more than just pancakes! Here is a way to include this sugar alternative in your salad dressing to make the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy all at the same time.
Prep time: 5 minutes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt and black pepper in a small bowl or in a mason jar.
- Taste for seasoning and add in more if necessary.
- Before serving, give it a whisk (or a vigorous shake).
Notes:
- This recipe makes a little less than 1/2 cup maple Dijon salad dressing.
- Store it in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to a week.
- Use it in green leafy salads, grain bowls, and more.
- Make into a Mape Dijon Sauce: Double the amount of maple syrup and Dijon mustard and use half the amount of olive oil with the rest of the ingredients being the same.
