Emulsion Tips:
- Wait to add the olive oil to the dressing! You first must thoroughly combine the apple cider vinegar and Dijon. The acidity from the vinegar can interfere with emulsification if added after the oil.
- Make sure to mix the dressing long enough for the oil to emulsify into the dressing. You can also try gradually adding the olive oil as you whisk to ensure a perfect emulsion!
- Store maple Dijon vinaigrette in an airtight container to preserve the vinaigrette's flavor and freshness. Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks for the best taste and quality.
- Make sure to shake or whisk the dressing before using it if any separation occurs.
