Pro Tips
- Dijon is simply my preference and I think it works best. But, feel free to use what you’ve got or prefer. Yellow and Spicy Brown Mustard both work very well.
- This dressing is great for making in a larger quantity because it keeps so well. Store it in a jar with a lid in the fridge for 2-3 months. I like doing this so it’s always on hand.
- You can leave the maple syrup out of this recipe if you don’t like the sweetness. Also, feel free to use your sweetener of choice.

This is really good. Thank you for a recipe that is not only delicious but so simple with on hand ingredients!
Thank you, Janice!
This is a great recipe!! So quick, easy, and simple!! What I especially like about it is that besides tasting good it keeps a long time. So many of the salad dressing recipes that can be found online only store for several days which makes them hardly worth the effort.
That being said, I am not a big fan of mustard. Can you suggest anything else to use in place of mustard? – maybe something that would give it a different flavor? Maybe something sweet or tangy? It seems like every WFPB vinaigrette recipe uses mustard. Surely there must be some vinaigrettes that don’t use mustard but still taste good and store a long time? I look forward to hearing any suggestions you may have.
P.S. I love the way your recipes print out in such an easy to read, simple, and clear format. Thank you for all your hard work!! Your site is stellar! =)

Hi, Carolyn! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. You can totally leave out the mustard and add a little more maple if you like. Thanks for reaching out and the kind words.
This was terrific, and so simple and easy!
