🧄 Ingredient notes
This is such a beautifully simple oil-free salad dressing. It's the easiest one to make, besides just using lemon juice or vinegar alone on your salads.
To make this maple dijon oil-free dressing, you'll need the following ingredients:
- maple syrup
- dijon mustard
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 will be too strong.
👨👩👦👦 Serving suggestions
Serve over any green salad.
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.
❓ FAQ
Keep refrigerated for at least 3 weeks. Both of the ingredients alone will last weeks, kept cold in the refrigerator. So, combining them, they should also last weeks. Check your expiration dates first and whichever expiration date is shorter, that is when you should use the dressing up by. Or, you can make just enough for what you'll need for that week and then make more the next week, since it's so easy to mix up.
🔄 Variations
Switch it up by adding a tablespoon or more of balsamic vinegar for a tangier dressing.
If you enjoy a more tangy, less sweet dressing, try my 4-Ingredient Honey Dijon Salad Dressing. It's also oil-free and can quickly be made in a mason jar. If you don't eat honey, then use maple syrup instead.

2-Ingredient Maple Dijon Oil-free Salad Dressing

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.
