Preparation
Step 1
Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl until evenly combined. (Or — my favorite method — shake the ingredients together in a mason jar or dressing bottle until evenly combined.)
Step 2
Add your desired amount of maple syrup (or honey) to sweeten, along with any optional add-ins that you desire.
Step 3
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
Step 4
Save recipe for the next time?
Chef's notes
*Or if you don’t have Italian seasoning, dried thyme or oregano would work well.
