Mix the white wine vinegar, mustard, maple syrup (or honey), salt, pepper and olive oil together in a small mixing bowl.

Give the parsley a quick wash, shake and slice it into small pieces. Add to bowl.
Mix the salad around then pour the dressing over the top. Give it a good mix to make sure everything is fully coated. Serve!
