Total Time 5 minutes
Olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and green onion whisked or shaken into a quick vinaigrette.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4-1/3 cup of red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of mustard (spicy brown or Dijon preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons of real maple syrup or raw honey (granulated sweetener works too)
  • 2 teaspoons of minced green onion
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Add everything to a small bowl, measuring cup, or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Whisk or stir with a fork (or shake the jar) until the oil and vinegar are blended.
  • Taste and adjust: if too tangy, add oil or sweetener; if not tangy enough, add vinegar or mustard; if bland, add vinegar, mustard, or salt and pepper.
  • Serve right away, or cover and refrigerate.

Notes

Prep 5 minutes. Refrigerate with a tight-fitting lid up to 5 days (shorter keeping because of the fresh green onion). Can be doubled or tripled.
