Notes
Use oil instead of aquafaba for a dressing that's richer and closest to the Costco version inside the Grain & Celery Salad.
Use aquafaba instead of oil in the dressing to reduce the calories (158 cal → 40 cal) and fat (14g → 0.1g) per serving.
Nutritional information calculated using olive oil in the dressing.
If you don't like sweet dressings, start with HALF the maple syrup, then increase from there to your liking.
