Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Place 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup in a small blender. Pulse to combine. You could also do this with a whisk in a small bowl if you wish.
  • Add oil a few tablespoons at a time and pulse to combine. Most recipes ask you to pour it in while the machine is running (through the pour hole at the top) and if this works for you that's great. However, I've always found it hard to do that with my small blender without making a big mess. If you're using a bowl and whisk, think of this step as a mini arm workout :) .
  • That's it! You're done! How easy was that?!?! Now go enjoy your salad! :)
