Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Ensure you have all the necessary ingredients ready: Dijon mustard, maple syrup, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Mix the Vinaigrette

In a small bowl, add the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and red wine vinegar. Whisk them together until well combined.

The vinaigrette can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using.

Feel free to experiment with different vinegars or add herbs for unique flavor profiles.

Note 3: Consistency Adjustments

If you prefer a creamier dressing, consider adding a teaspoon of plain yogurt or mayonnaise.
