MAPLE DIJON HONEY DRESSING

Maple Dijon Honey Dressing is a simple yet flavourful dressing that balances tangy, sweet and savoury elements in one delicious blend. The combination of Dijon mustard, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar creates a smooth, slightly sharp taste with a hint of natural sweetness. Olive oil adds richness, while salt and pepper enhance the overall flavour. This dressing is incredibly versatile, working well with leafy greens, roasted vegetables or as a glaze for meats and tofu. It can also serve as a dipping sauce for sandwiches and wraps, adding a subtle complexity to each bite. With just a handful of ingredients and no cooking required, it is a quick and easy option for those looking to elevate their meals with homemade, wholesome flavours. Whether drizzled over a fresh salad or used as a marinade, this dressing is a must-have for any kitchen.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Ingredients: Measure out all ingredients before mixing to ensure a well-balanced dressing.
  • Combine The Base: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup and apple cider vinegar until smooth. This helps the mustard blend evenly into the mixture.
  • Incorporate The Olive Oil: Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. This emulsifies the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • Season To Taste: Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  • Adjust Consistency If Needed: If the dressing is too thick, add a few drops of water or extra vinegar to reach your desired texture.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the dressing to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving to enhance the flavours.
  • Serve And Enjoy: Drizzle over fresh salads and roasted vegetables or use them as a marinade for chicken or tofu.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this maple dijon honey dressing.

  • Use High-Quality Dijon Mustard: A good-quality mustard enhances the depth of flavour in the dressing.
  • Whisk Vigorously: To ensure a smooth consistency, whisk the dressing continuously as you add the olive oil.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add an extra ¼ tsp of maple syrup.
  • Balance Acidity: If the dressing is too tangy, add a few extra drops of olive oil to mellow the flavour.
  • Make It Smoother: Blend the dressing with an immersion blender for a silkier texture.
  • Let It Rest: Allowing the dressing to sit before serving helps the flavours develop more fully.

VARIATIONS

  • Creamy Maple Dijon Dressing: Mix in 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt for a thicker, creamier consistency. Blend well for a smooth texture.
  • Vegan Alternative: Swap honey for additional maple syrup to make this dressing entirely plant-based. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • Garlic-Infused Dressing: Add ¼ tsp minced garlic for a more savoury, robust flavour. Let it sit for 10 minutes to infuse.
  • Spicy Maple Dijon Dressing: Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a subtle heat. Adjust the spice level based on preference.
  • Herb-Enhanced Dressing: Add ½ tsp finely chopped fresh thyme or parsley for a herby twist that pairs well with roasted vegetables.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or whisk before using, as ingredients may separate.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the emulsion may break when thawed.
  • Serving Tip: If the dressing thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes and stir well before serving.
