Notes and pro-tips
- This recipe is perfect when you have leftover pumpkin puree that's good and too expensive to toss out.
- Use Pure Maple syrup, not maple-flavored syrup.
- Don’t skip the mustard sauce. It is very important in dressing like this as it acts as an emulsifier.
- You may use Dijon mustard too instead of yellow mustard.
- Add ¼ cup of water if you don’t prefer thick-pulpy kind dressing.
- For a spicy food lover, add Jalapeno, Serrano peppers or Red pepper flakes. It will give a very nice spicy punch.
- Always use good quality extra virgin olive oil for salad dressing. It makes a huge difference.
- You could also put a few tablespoons into either sour cream or yogurt to make a creamy dressing or as a spread to a wrap. That would taste so fantastic in this vegan wrap for sure.
- This dressing freezes well too. Take it into an airtight container in a required serving portion and keep them in the freezer. It stays fresh up to 3 months in the freezer and up to 5 days in the refrigerator. you can also try this ice cube method to store this dressing.

Question: you say in the notes to use pure maple syrup, not maple-flavored syrup, but there is no maple syrup in the recipe. Only agave or honey. Is the maple syrup a missing ingredient?
Hi Jennifer,
Yes, I missed to write down the Maple Syrup in ingredients. Thank you for letting me know. I corrected the list. 🙂
I made this vinaigrette and put it on a Roasted butternut squash salad. It was the perfect addition to the salad.
So glad to know 🙂
I just tried this recipe and it tirned out great!i used steamed pumpkin
Awesome! So glad to hear this. Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Yummy! I made this tonight to go with my salad. The dressing wash delish. I’m going to try freezing some of it as I’m the only one who will be eating it. It will pair great with all my fall salads.
So glad to know. Thanks much!
I’d love to make this for a wedding this weekend….could I just as easily throw everything in my Ninja and blend it all up? Or does it get weird if ya do that?
You can certainly do that. Refrain from blending it for too long. Just pulse it a few times. If you blend it for too long, the texture of the dressing will be very thick. I hope this helps.
