Begin by mincing the garlic clove finely.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and adobo sauce.
Add the minced garlic, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika to the bowl, and whisk until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Slowly add the water to the bowl, continuing to whisk until the dressing is smooth and slightly emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust with more maple syrup or vinegar if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before each use, and enjoy over salads or as a marinade for grilled vegetables or proteins.
