This vinaigrette pairs beautifully with salads, serves as a marinade for chicken, or even doubles as a dip for warm, toasty bread. The white wine vinegar and Dijon mustard deliver a bold tangy punch, while maple syrup and olive oil balance the flavors with a touch of sweetness.
The best part? You can make this ahead of time and keep it on hand for up to two weeks. With food allergies in my family, this vinaigrette is a game-changer—I know exactly what’s in it and can trust it’s safe for everyone to enjoy.
