This salad dressing recipe is a very basic vinaigrette. The base oil is a combo of olive oil with a touch of sesame oil. We took things up a notch by sauteeing the garlic first so that it’s super flavorful. I promise it’s worth the extra step. After you’ve sauteed the garlic, it’s time to mix the rest of the ingredients in. We like to do this right in a mason jar so you can screw the cap on and give it a shake. Here’s what you need:
- Olive Oil
- Sesame Oil
- Garlic
- Salt
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Soy Sauce
- Maple Syrup
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Dijon Mustard
