My Favorite Homemade Salad Dressing Recipe

Oct 21, 2025

I like to keep things simple. And when I say simple, I mean 3-5 ingredient simple.

I also mean simple, real, single-ingredients. Ingredients that nourish the body, and flood it with nutritive compounds that fortify my arteries, cells, immune system, tissues, and entirety.

If you want to keep your salad dressing simple, and nourishing, try this:

Homemade Balsamic Maple Garlic Dressing:

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz real maple syrup
  • 4 oz balsamic vinegar
  • 2 oz liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced 

Instructions:

In a 16-ounce jar, combine maple syrup, balsamic dressing, liquid aminos, and minced garlic. Shake well to mix. Will last for 3-4 weeks in refrigerator.

To use, drizzle 1-2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil on salad. Then, drizzle 1 Tbsp Balsamic Maple Garlic Dressing over top. Season with fresh ground pepper and salt to taste. Enjoy!
