How to Make Fat Free Flax Salad Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed, balsamic vinegar, and water. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flaxseed to absorb the liquid and thicken the dressing.
  2. Once the flaxseed mixture has thickened, whisk in the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more maple syrup for sweetness or balsamic vinegar for tanginess.
  4. Pour over your favorite salad and enjoy!
