Maple Vinaigrette
Tangy, rich, and sweet Maple Vinaigrette! This quick and easy salad dressing is ready in a snap and made with common pantry staples. Perfect for drizzling on green salads, roasted veggies, wraps, and more!
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 1 teaspoon smooth Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 large pinch cayenne pepper or smoked paprika optional
- 1 large pinch salt
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Crush the dried rosemary between your fingers and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the minced shallots and Dijon mustard and mash with the back of a spoon until combined.
- Whisk in the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, cayenne or smoked paprika (if using), and salt until combined.
- Very slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continually mixing the maple syrup mixture. Whisk until smooth and emulsified. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage Directions keep the dressing covered in an airtight container -- such as a Mason jar -- in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. If the dressing solidifies upon storage, run the closed jar under warm water or let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Recipe Pro-Tips
- Slowly drizzle in the oil. The secret to a well-emulsified dressing is slowly adding the oil while continually whisking. Alternatively, you can blend the apple cider and maple syrup in a high-speed blender while drizzling the oil through the lid's vent and whisk in the Dijon and shallot mixture and seasonings later.
- Mason jar shaking alternative. For a super simple prep, just add all the ingredients to a Mason jar, close the lid, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds or until combined.
- Add smoked paprika or cayenne if desired. These ingredients are optional but encouraged for smoke or spice.
