Blend the Base:
Combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

The maple softens Dijon's sharp bite without turning this dressing cloying. It stays smooth and spoonable, making even a plain bowl of greens feel more lively.
This dressing is proof that you don't need twenty ingredients to make something memorable. Maple syrup and Dijon mustard are already a great team—you just have to get the balance right. It's sweet enough to work with fruit and salads, but the mustard keeps it from becoming one-dimensional. I probably use this one more as a marinade than a dressing, especially on roasted vegetables and tofu.

Combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while blending.

Check the seasoning and consistency.
Refrigerate before serving.
