Ingredients

  • ¼ cup yellow mustard Dijon mustard, or a combination (see notes)
  • 2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup see notes
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Taste and adjust the flavorings (see notes).
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week.

Notes

  • We use maple syrup instead of honey; however, you can also use date paste or brown rice syrup. Agave syrup (agave nectar) is ultra-processed, so we don’t recommend it. For more information, please see my post on vegan substitutes for agave syrup.
  • Use any mustard or a combination of mild and spicy mustard according to your taste preferences.
  • To make the dressing sweeter, add more maple syrup. If you want it to be tangier, use more lemon juice or a drop of apple cider vinegar.
  • Mustard contains a lot of salt. For this reason, I recommend adding salt after tasting.
