Equipment
- small whisk
- pint jar
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespooon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, or to taste
- 3/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except oil in a pint jar (or 2-cup sized bowl).
- Pour the oil into the jar and use a whisk to blend everything thoroughly. Using both hands on the handle, quickly rub the whisk back and forth - it's the best way to emulsify the oil and vinegar so it stays blended longer.
- Use immediately or store in jar with a lid in the fridge for months (or room temperature for a few weeks since this doesn't have any fresh ingredients).

- Use with a pasta salad with chicken, bacon, tomatoes, onions, and other veggies.
- Drizzle over a grain bowl: rice, quinoa, farro or barley topped with any fresh vegetables and meat or seafood.
- Works wonderful as a marinade for beef and chicken.
