<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup [105 g] extra-virgin olive oil<\/p>\n
1\u00bd T. balsamic or red wine vinegar<\/p>\n
1\u00bd T. water (see note*)<\/p>\n

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, water, if using, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and salt to taste (\u00bc to \u00bd tsp). The mixture should stay emulsified for a little while, but you will need to shake it up or whisk it right before serving.\u00a0 Storage: This dressing contains garlic and isn\u2019t extremely acidic, so it should only be stored in the fridge for a few days before consuming. But if you leave out the garlic and water, and add them later as needed, you can count on at least 1 week in the fridge.<\/p>\n
