A tangy, sweet Maple Dijon Vinaigrette that takes less than 2 minutes to shake up and drizzle over your favorite salads.

Though the name sounds fancy, this maple Dijon vinaigrette is as simple as it gets. With my mason jar trick, make your favorite salad dressings without dirtying up a bunch of dishes.

Easy Maple Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing

This Maple Dijon Vinaigrette has the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and savory that coats any salad or ingredient you toss it with.

Personally, my favorite recipes for this vinaigrette are warm salads, like this Fall Roasted Vegetable Salad. The combination of roasted butternut squash and beets with fresh greens and tangy dressing always keeps me coming back for seconds.

Ingredients

The basic pantry staples you need for this vinaigrette are apple cider vinegar, pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard (with or without seeds), olive oil, and a little bit of salt.

How to Make Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

Got your ingredients ready? Good! Now grab a lidded jar, add the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and salt. Top the jar with the lid, and give it a good shake. Shaking the ingredients helps the oil and vinegar to emulsify into a smooth, cohesive vinaigrette.

How to Store Homemade Vinaigrettes

You can refrigerate this Maple Dijon Vinaigrette in a lidded glass jar or bottle for up to a month. I don’t recommend storing this and other oil-based dressings in plastic. Over time, the plastic absorbs the oil, and it makes the container harder to clean. As oil and liquids tend to do, this vinaigrette does separate as it sets, but a good shake or two, and it will go right back to that smooth consistency.

What To Serve With This Dijon Vinaigrette

This is one of those vinaigrettes that makes any salad taste better. Drizzling this one over winter salad with roasted vegetables is one of my favorite ways to enjoy it! It’s also a terrific dressing for my cranberry quinoa salad and this nutritious kale & edamame salad.
