Place in a bowl; add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Add the diced baguette and toss to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan; arrange in an even layer. Toast in the oven 6 to 8 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

To the bowl of lemon juice, add the diced shallot, mustard, maple syrup, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk to thoroughly combine.
