Print Recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar*
1.5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil**
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup creamy almond butter or sub cashew butter
1.5 tablespoons stoneground mustard
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
2-4 tablespoons water to thin for desired consistency

Instructions

Add all ingredients to small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. I typically add 3 tablespoons.
Alternatively you could whisk in medium bowl, but using a blender or food processor is best.
Taste test the dressing to make sure you're alright with the vinegar-sweetness ratio, adding more sweetener or more balsamic to taste.
Serve with salads, roasted veggies, or even as a chicken or steak sauce.
Store salad dressing in covered 8 ounce jar in refrigerator up to 1 week. Dressing may get thick after sitting in fridge You can add a little bit of water and stir well with spoon before using.

Notes

*Adjust according to taste. I like a good balsamic vinegar taste but if you'd like you can use less, or even a touch more if you prefer strong. You can also balance out with more or less maple syrup.

**Could sub avocado, almond oil, or even pumpkin seed oil.
