Two Super Simple Ingredients

Most store-bought dressings are full of inflammatory oils, refined sugars, and even dyes & artificial flavors!
This recipe is SO simple and made with less than 5 CLEAN ingredients, and three of them are optional! Plus, you can make this dressing in just a few minutes!

The main ingredients for this Easy Oil-Free Italian Dressing are vinegar & maple syrup!

I alternate between red wine vinegar & balsamic vinegar depending on the style of salad I am making!

Using red wine vinegar makes for the perfect pairing with an Italian-style salad! The red wine vinegar has a super fresh flavor and compliments the sweetness in the maple syrup very well!

I use balsamic if I’m going for more of a Greek salad vibe or just a deeper flavor profile!

Sometimes, I will add a little dijon mustard to the dressing as well!
