🎙 What people say about this recipe
"I enlarged a bit on your idea for the salad with apple & onion. Added chopped cucumber, too and this dressing made it a winner!"

🧄 Very useful ingredient notes
- Maple syrup - Instead of maple syrup, you could try substituting agave, honey or brown rice syrup. A liquid sweetener will work best here, so it will combine quickly with the dijon mustard and emulsify into a thick dressing.
- Dijon mustard - If you don't have dijon mustard, try substituting whole grain mustard. I would not recommend using yellow mustard instead, the dressing would probably be too strong and tangy.
Tip
Have an almost-empty bottle of dijon mustard? Just add the maple syrup to the bottle and shake it up to mix for a single-serving of this dressing!
👨👩👦👦 Serving suggestions
I especially like this dressing served over a salad of greens, sliced green apple and white onions.
This maple dijon sauce is also really good on potatoes or as a dipping sauce for french fries.

📖 Recipe
2-Ingredient Maple Dijon Oil-free Salad Dressing
Ingredients
- ¼ cup maple syrup or sweetener of your choice
- ¼ cup dijon mustard
Instructions
- Add both ingredients in a small glass mason jar, put the lid on tight and shake to combine. Or, add ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour over your favorite salad and enjoy!
Notes
- Maple syrup: you can try using brown rice syrup, honey or agave instead of the maple syrup. A liquid sweetener is best, since it will combine quickly with the dijon mustard.
- Dijon mustard: I love the whole foods 365 dijon mustard, but any dijon you like will work. Instead of dijon, try substituting a whole grain mustard for a different take.
