2 tsps (10 g) Dijon mustard
1 tsp (1 g) dried Italian seasoning
1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
½ tsp (3 g) sea salt
¼ tsp (1 g) black pepper
⅓ cup (80 ml) white balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp (10 g) minced shallot, 2 tsps (10 g) Dijon mustard, 1 tsp (1 g) dried Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup, ½ tsp (3 g) sea salt, ¼ tsp (1 g) black pepper, ⅓ cup (80 ml) white balsamic vinegar
While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the vinaigrette looks smooth and blended. It should lightly coat the back of a spoon.
⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Store in a jar and shake before using.

Notes

Use fresh herbs instead of dried if you’ve got them. Basil, oregano, or thyme all work.
The olive oil will firm up in the fridge. Let the vinaigrette sit at room temp for about ten minutes, then shake until smooth.
This vinaigrette keeps its flavor best for about a week when stored in a sealed jar.
