This Maple Mustard Dressing is sweet with the right amount of tang!

A dressing that is easy and quick to whip up, and uses simple ingredients.

And of course it has amazing flavor!

It is a perfect dressing for any salad.

But trust me you will not only want to use this dressing on salads.

It makes for an amazing dip for fries, nuggets, steamed vegetables, corn on the cob, cold pasta, on your burger or even on a cold sandwich.

I hope this dressing will be a new favorite for you and your family as much as it is for my family.

What is in this dressing?

Oil – I used avocado oil in my dressing. This oil has a mild flavor and will not overpower or take away from any of the other ingredients.
Vinegar – An apple cider vinegar will give this dressing the right amount of tanginess.
Lemon Juice – The lemon juice can be switched with a lime juice to give this dressing a slightly different flavor. Adding a citrus fruit gives the dressing a slight fruity and tangy taste.
Real Maple Syrup – The maple syrup adds a sweet caramel and vanilla flavor to the dressing.
Mustard – I always like the simple yellow mustard in my recipes, but this can be the mustard of your choice. Yellow mustard has an earthy, clean, and crisp flavor that will blend well with everything.
Seasonings – Minced garlic, powdered onion, salt, and pepper is all the seasoning you need to make this dressing.
