Equipment

  • 1 Canning jar with a lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/3 Cup Oil I used avocado oil for my dressing. Add your favorite oil.
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Mustard I use a yellow mustard, but try different varieties of mustard each time you make this dressing.
  • 2 Tsp Real Maple Syrup This can be substituted with honey if you prefer. You can also add a bit more if you would like the dressing to be sweeter.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.

Creamier Dressing

  • 2 to 3 Tbsp Mayo I used a vegan mayo in my dressing.

Instructions
 

  • I find the best way to blend this dressing is to pour everything into a canning jar with a lid.
  • Shake vigorously until well blended.
  • Pour over a fresh bed of lettuce just before serving.

Storing the dressing

  • I store my dressing in the refrigerator.
  • The dressing will solidify, but that is not a problem.
  • Just remove the dressing from the refrigerator, and let it set for about 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
  • Shake and drizzle on your fresh salad.

Notes
