Equipment

  • Whisk
  • jar or small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 20 twists freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully blended. Sometimes, if your mustard is cold, it will need a few minutes to warm up before it fully incorporates.
  • Taste, and adjust if necessary—for more tartness, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or for more sweetness/balance, add another teaspoon or two of maple syrup (I usually add one).
  • This salad dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Real olive oil can solidify slightly when cold; if that happens, simple let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes or microwave it in a microwave-safe jar for no more than 15 to 30 seconds.

Notes

This dressing pairs well with a variety of salads and can be adjusted to taste depending on preference for sweetness or tartness.
