Equipment

glass jar
immersion blender

Ingredients

½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
½ teaspoon dijon mustard
Pinch of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¾ to 1 cup avocado oil or other neutral tasting oil

Instructions

In a tall glass jar or measuring cup, whisk together balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
While using an immersion blender, slowly stream in avocado oil to fully incorporate the oil into the rest of the dressing.
Once fully emulsified, serve dressing on your favorite salad, like this strawberry cucumber salad, or cover it with a lid and store it in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

Notes

If you don't have an immersion blender, you can whisk vigorously by hand instead. The mixture might separate a bit more, but will still be equally as delicious.
Dressing stored in the refrigerator might solidify a little because of the oil. Leave it at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes, before dressing your salad, and it should liquify pretty quickly.
