Notes
Note 1 - Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil
As this homemade dressing recipe uses minimal ingredients, I highly recommend using good quality products where possible.
Note 2 - Dijon Mustard
Substitutions - wholegrain mustard or mustard seeds. You could use American Mustard but it won't have the same oompf as my recommendations.
Note 3 - Garlic and Basil
I highly recommend uses fresh ingredients where possible as they enhance the flavour of the dressing really well. If you don't have access, you can use shelf-stable like pre-minced garlic and dried basil, but it will impact the taste of the maple balsamic dressing.
