Whisk constantly while drizzling in the olive oil, or shake everything together in a tightly sealed jar — either method works, but adding the oil too fast is what causes a vinaigrette to separate.
Instructions:
- Combine the Base: Add the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic, salt, and pepper to a jar or bowl.
- Whisk: Whisk together until well combined.
- Emulsify: Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, until emulsified (or shake everything together in a sealed jar).
- Adjust: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; shake well before each use.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week; shake well before using as it may separate.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
Every ingredient here earns its place, but a few really shape the dish. The balsamic vinegar adds tang that cuts through richness and balances the flavors. The olive oil brings fruity depth and helps carry the other flavors. The maple syrup brings natural sweetness with a hint of caramel depth. The garlic builds a savory, aromatic base.
