Helpful Notes on Ingredients & Substitutions:
Maple Syrup:
If you can get some wonderful maple syrup, use it now.
Honey instead of maple syrup:
If you don’t like the taste of maple, you may substitute honey for the maple syrup in this recipe to create a honey maple salad dressing recipe.
Dijon mustard:
Although most of you enjoy the sharp flavor of dijon mustard, this maple dressing would go well with grainy mustard as well.
Balsamic Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar:
Red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar can be substituted for apple cider vinegar if you are unable to obtain any of the former. It might have a slightly different flavor profile, but it would still be excellent.
