Mustard vinaigrette

I think everyone should know how to make a good homemade salad dressing! It's really easy to make and you control the ingredients you add, unlike many store-bought dressings. These often contain questionable oils and preservatives. Anyway, here's my mustard version that's a hit every time!

Servings: ¾ cup

Preparation: 5 minutes

Cooking: None

Ingredients :

• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 ½ tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar
• Juice of half a lemon
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• Pepper from the mill
  

To serve:

• Lettuce leaves, frisée niçoise and castelfranco chicory
• Avonlea Cheddar
• Thin slices of red onion

Steps:

1. Add all ingredients to a mason jar. Shake the bottle vigorously with the lid on. Set aside.
2. To serve, toss a few tablespoons of the dressing into the mixed greens. Serve in a serving bowl and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and red onion slices.

Note : The vinaigrette can be stored in the fridge with the lid on for up to 1 week.
