Elevate your salads with the rich, tangy-sweet flavor of homemade Maple Salad Dressing! This quick and easy recipe combines the earthy warmth of pure maple syrup with zesty apple cider vinegar, velvety extra-virgin olive oil, and a hint of Dijon mustard for a perfectly balanced vinaigrette. Minced garlic adds a pop of savory depth, while a pinch of salt and black pepper ties it all together. Ready in just 5 minutes and made with pantry staples, this versatile dressing is ideal for drizzling over mixed greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week! Perfect for those seeking a flavorful, wholesome alternative to store-bought dressings.
In a small bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the mixture together until it is well combined and emulsified. If using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30–60 seconds.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or maple syrup to suit your preferences.
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake well before each use.
