Method:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the elderflower cordial, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup until smooth and combined.
2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.
3. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.
4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
5. Whisk briefly to incorporate the seasoning and basil evenly.
6. Serve immediately over your favourite salad or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
