Maple Balsamic & Dijon Vinaigrette

We often focus our blog posts on sweet treats with maple syrup (of course), so we thought a savoury recipe would mix things up a bit this month. There are so many combinations of pantry staples that can be blended together to make a unique salad dressing with maple syrup. Try experimenting with apple cider vinegar, citrus, different herbs and spices and fine pressed oils. Today we’re putting together a simple, easy salad dressing that combines balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard and maple syrup.

😉 Fun Fact: This is Amanda’s go-to Maple Salad Dressing Recipe. She’s never written out the directions but somehow it comes out perfectly every. single. time.
