- 1 teaspoon agave or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk well until smooth and serve over your favorite salad.
Notes
You can also add your ingredients to a large mason jar and shake them together. This cuts down on the dishes and makes storage simple.
Storage: In an airtight container, this dressing will last for up to 2-3 weeks. Some of the ingredients in this recipe may partially solidify in the refrigerator, so let your vinaigrette come to room temperature and give it a good shake/stir before serving.
You can freeze this dressing, and it should last for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Let it sit at room temperature to thaw before serving.
Vegan mayo: Use your favorite vegan mayonnaise, or if you're not vegan, feel free to use a regular mayo. You could also sub out the mayo entirely for coconut milk, vegan greek yogurt or even sour cream if you're in a pinch. We like using the mayo since it acts as an emulsifier, helping the hydrophilic (water-loving) vinegar and the hydrophobic (water-hating) oil to come together more easily.
