Maple Dijon Dressing

Name: Maple Dijon Dressing
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 40 min
Ingredients: ⅔ cup dijon mustard; 1 cup real maple syrup; ⅓ teaspoon kosher salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper (coarse, freshly ground); ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil

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.

Butter Club Notes

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.
