When the weather starts to cool down and the kitchen smells like roasted root vegetables, this is the dressing I reach for every single time. It hits that sweet spot between tangy and bright, making it the ideal partner for kale, sweet potatoes, and roasted Brussels sprouts.

I love how easy this is to throw together on a busy weeknight. You just toss everything into a glass jar and give it a good shake until it is perfectly emulsified and ready for your favorite harvest bowl.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather a small glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

  2. 2

    Add the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper into the jar.

  3. 3

    Seal the lid tightly and shake the jar vigorously for about thirty seconds.

  4. 4

    Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if you prefer it a little sweeter or tangier.

  5. 5

    Pour it over your prepared salad and toss well before serving.

💡 Tips

This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week if stored in a sealed jar. Just let it sit on the counter for a few minutes or give it a quick shake before using, as the olive oil may solidify slightly in the cold.
