You know what goes in there: A great salad starts with a great dressing. Most store-bought dressings are made with low-quality ingredients, added sugar, and preservatives. When you make your own homemade salad dressing, you know everything that goes into it. Plus, it is such a simple dressing that you can make with basic pantry staples.It stores well: Make a batch of this maple mustard vinaigrette as a part of your meal prep, keep it in an airtight container (such as a mason jar) in the fridge, and use it throughout the week. The perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy all at the same time: While most people consider this vinaigrette to be an all-purpose fall harvest salad dressing, I use it throughout the year, especially in some of my favorite salads that use fresh or dried fruit as an ingredient.
So, go grab pure maple syrup, dijon mustard, fresh garlic, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper. Simply place all ingredients in a bowl and give it a whisk until creamy. Alternatively, you can place everything in a mason jar, put the lid on and give it a vigorous shake.
How To Store?
The best way to store this maple dijon mustard dressing is to put it in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the fridge for up to a week. Be sure to give it a good shake before using.
Use it in any salad that has fresh or dried fruit: The sweet maple syrup combined with cider vinegar and dijon mustard make a good salad dressing for salad recipes with fruit such as Apple Salad, Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad (made with dried cranberries), Pear Salad, and Strawberry Spinach Salad.Drizzle any hearty fall and winter salads: This homemade maple dijon dressing can be drizzled in various salads made with fall and winter vegetables such as Roasted Butternut Squash Salad, Quinoa Butternut Squash Salad, Acorn Squash Salad, and even my go-to autumn salad, Beet and Goat Cheese Salad.Use it in any salad with leafy green salads: If you’d rather make it as simple as possible, then try drizzling this maple dijon vinaigrette dressing over my Kale Avocado Salad, Kale and Apple Slaw or Spring Mix Salad recipes.
