About this recipe

The dressing balances the richness of avocado oil with the bright acidity of balsamic vinegar, while maple syrup adds a gentle sweetness. Dijon mustard gives it a smooth, slightly spicy backbone, making it versatile for green salads, grain bowls, or as a dip for fresh vegetables. Serve it drizzled over mixed greens, roasted veggies, or grilled chicken for a light, flavorful finish. Its quick‑shake method means you can whip up a fresh batch any time you need a healthy condiment without any fuss.
