How to Make Lemony Vinaigrette

  1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  2. Secure the lid and shake vigorously until the vinaigrette is emulsified and well combined.
  3. For the best flavor, let the vinaigrette rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra tang, maple syrup for sweetness, or salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Shake well before each use. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
