Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
• 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey), to taste
• (optional add-ins: 1 tablespoon minced fresh shallots and/or 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning*)

Directions

1. Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl until evenly combined.  (Or — my favorite method — shake the ingredients together in a mason jar or dressing bottle until evenly combined.)

2. Add your desired amount of maple syrup (or honey) to sweeten, along with any optional add-ins that you desire.

3. Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
