  • Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and uniform, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Add water a little at a time, whisking after each addition, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency (smooth and pourable enough to drizzle or scoop).
  • Taste and, if needed, adjust the balance using the ingredients on the list (lemon juice, salt, or maple syrup), whisk to combine, then pour over salad or use as a dip for veggies.
