Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper for vinaigrette in a plastic or glass container with a lid. Cover the container and vigorously shake until dressing is light yellow and evenly combined.

Tips
Depending on the size of the lemons, maple syrup may need to be increased if the dressing is too tangy.
I always taste-test the dressing before adding it to the salad. So I recommend tasting and adjusting the maple syrup, salt, pepper, and/or Dijon mustard.
