- 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard or 2 teaspoons Dijon, or 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon capers preferably reduced sodium, and rinsed
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon date syrup or to taste (optional)
- ¾ cup water plus more as needed

- Blend: Add ¾ cup water. Blend on high until smooth, adding more water until the desired flavor.
Notes
Date syrup is optional for a hint of sweetness. Research suggests that dates eaten in moderation may help lower blood glucose levels. Blackstrap molasses is another healthy option. Both have relatively low glycemic indices, meaning they don’t spike blood sugar as dramatically as other sweeteners. However, they are still high in carbohydrates, so people with diabetes should enjoy them sparingly.
