Ingredients
- ¼ cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
- lemon zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- orange zest from 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Put all the ingredients in a mason jar (Olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice, orange zest and juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, and salt).
- Close the lid and shake it up to mix everything together.
Notes
- It is very important to use good quality Extra-Virgin Olive Oil. If you use a cheaper one, it might have a bitter aftertaste. To fix it, you can try to add more orange juice and maple syrup.
- Also, if your olive oil is not the best quality and your vinaigrette is too oily, try adding more Dijon mustard.
- We all have different tastes. So, after you make this vinaigrette, taste it. You can adjust the flavors and the acidity by adding more white vinegar or Dijon mustard.
- When zesting the lemon and orange, zest only the very yellow/orange part of the fruit. Try to avoid the white pith under it, as it has quite bitter taste.
