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?
