- 2 cups high-quality extra virgin olive oil or rich avocado oil
- 1/2 cup smooth and crisp white vinegar
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice for a zesty and vibrant flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt for a balanced seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon aromatic onion granules or powdered onions for depth of flavor
- 2 tablespoons pure and natural maple syrup adding a hint of sweetness to complement the savory notes
- 2 cloves of fresh garlic finely minced for a robust and savory undertone
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white vinegar, lime juice, sea salt, and onion granules until well combined.
Add in the maple syrup and minced garlic and continue to whisk until fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust any seasonings as needed to suit your preference.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
• Make sure to use freshly squeezed citrus juices, as the bottled juices do not have the same flavor.
• You can use any type of vinegar you like, but white wine vinegar is recommended as it has a milder flavor.
• For a spicier dressing, add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• This dressing is great on salads, but can also be used as a marinade for grilled vegetables or as a dipping sauce for chicken or shrimp.
• The dressing will thicken slightly when chilled. If it gets too thick, just whisk in a few teaspoons of water to thin it out.
