Vinaigrette Ingredients
- â…“ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into a mason jar or any other airtight container.
- Shake to Emulsify: Secure the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously. As you shake, the ingredients will mix thoroughly and slightly emulsify, creating a slightly thickened, cohesive vinaigrette.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately by drizzling over your favorite salad or vegetables, or store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before each use as the ingredients may separate over time.
Notes
- For a more intense garlic flavor, let the minced garlic infuse in the vinaigrette for at least 30 minutes before using.
- This vinaigrette keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week; always shake before use.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to your preference.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the ingredients instead of shaking.
