Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended and the mixture appears smooth.

-
Once mixed, set the dressing aside and allow it to rest for a few days in the refrigerator. This resting period is essential, as the flavors meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
-
Over time, the dressing will thicken, reaching a delightful consistency. This sweet and tangy dressing is particularly well-suited for fruit salads, especially Waldorf, but also works wonderfully on cabbage slaw, carrot and raisin salad, or simply drizzled over crisp head lettuce for a refreshing bite.
Tips
- For the best flavor, let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using.
- This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Enjoy this easy, no-cook dressing that adds a burst of flavor to any salad!
