Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons date syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure you have everything on hand.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
Add the date syrup, which acts as the sweetener in place of honey, ensuring this dressing remains Whole30 compliant.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard to add a bit of tang and help emulsify the dressing.
Peel and mince one small garlic clove and add it to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Season the dressing with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.
Use a whisk or an immersion blender to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Give the dressing a good shake or stir before using as it may separate over time.
