Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar into a mason jar and stir until the mustard and syrup are fully dissolved.
  2. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil, secure the lid tightly, and shake vigorously for 30–60 seconds until the dressing is a cohesive, opaque, pale-gold emulsion.
  3. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, then taste with a piece of raw Brussels sprout to ensure balanced acidity.
