In a small mixing bowl or jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the dressing is emulsified and has a smooth, creamy texture. Alternatively, if using a jar, screw the lid on tightly and shake until well combined.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings (e.g., add more salt, pepper, or maple syrup) if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite salad or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Stir or shake well before each use.
