Super Simple Everyday Dressing 🌿

This simple, flavour-packed dressing is my go-to when meals feel a bit boring. It instantly upgrades plain chicken, salmon, tofu, stir-fries, grain bowls, or roasted vegetables, without needing fancy ingredients or extra cooking.

It’s made with just three pantry staples and balances healthy fats, savoury depth, and a touch of natural sweetness. Perfect for busy days when you still want food to taste good.

It comes together in under 2 minutes and keeps well in the fridge, making it ideal to have on hand during the week.

Prep time: 2 minutes

Storage: Up to 5 days in the fridge

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (use tamari if gluten-free)

Method:

1. Add the olive oil, soy sauce or tamari, and maple syrup to a small bowl or jar.

2. Whisk or shake well until combined.

3. Taste and adjust if needed, a little more maple for sweetness or soy/tamari for salt.

   
   

That’s it.
