Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flaxseed and water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken and form a gel-like consistency.
Once the flaxseed mixture has thickened, add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Continue to whisk until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Stir or shake well before each use, as the flaxseed may naturally settle over time.
