  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: About 1/2 cup (4 servings)

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2-3 tablespoons Vegan mayo
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Seasonings

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ – ½ teaspoon coarse black pepper
  • Pinches red pepper flakes

Optional Add-Ins

  • Fresh thyme or oregano leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegan Mayo (Optional): If making your vegan mayo from scratch, prepare it up to 2 weeks in advance. It takes only 2-3 minutes to make, or alternatively, use store-bought vegan mayo such as Vegenaise.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Measure all the ingredients into a large measuring cup, bowl, or jar. Make sure to include the base ingredients, seasonings, and any optional fresh herbs if desired.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk or shake the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. This ensures all flavors are well blended and the texture is consistent.
  4. Adjust to Taste: Taste the dressing and adjust any ingredient to suit your preference, such as adding more sweetener, salt, or pepper.
  5. Store: Pour the dressing into a jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep fresh for up to one week, ready to enjoy on your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the maple syrup gradually.
  • For a tangier flavor, add a bit more white balsamic vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for a fresh herbal note.
  • Shake or stir well before each use as separation may occur.
  • This dressing is vegan and suitable for those avoiding dairy.
