Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ tbsp dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp dried oregano
  • Pinch each salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Pour the ingredients into a small bowl or glass measuring cup and whisk until combined. Adjust the seasonings as needed.

Notes

Substitutions

  • Other types of vinegar
    • If you don’t have balsamic vinegar for the dressing, you can use an alternative like red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • Honey
    • Honey is a great substitute for maple syrup in the dressing. Use equal parts to what is recommended.
  • Dried basil
    • Feel free to use this in place of dried oregano.
  • Italian seasoning
    • This blended seasoning will work just fine if you don’t have oregano.

Nutrition considerations

This recipe is already vegetarian, vegan*, gluten free, dairy free and nut free. No need to make any adjustments.
*However, if you choose to use honey instead of maple syrup in the dressing, this will result in a dressing that is NOT vegan.
