Ingredients

¼ cup balsamic vinegar

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp real maple syrup

1 tbsp dijon mustard

2 garlic cloves, minced

½ tsp dried basil

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tsp chia seeds (for extra texture and nutrition)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl or mason jar, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, dijon mustard, and minced garlic.

2. Stir in the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the optional chia seeds for a nutritional boost if desired.

3. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined, or shake the jar vigorously until the dressing emulsifies and becomes smooth.

4. Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more maple syrup for sweetness or extra vinegar for tang.

5. Drizzle over your favourite salads, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls.
