Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Description
The Apple Cider Vinaigrette recipe combines apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard whisked together with minced garlic. While whisking continuously, extra virgin olive oil is slowly drizzled in to form a smooth, emulsified dressing. Seasonings of kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper are added to taste. The result is a balanced dressing with bright acidity from the vinegar, sweet undertones from honey, pungency from mustard and garlic, and richness from olive oil.
This vinaigrette provides a versatile accompaniment to various salad greens or can be used to marinate vegetables or meats. It allows for easy adjustment in ratios to tailor flavor balance, such as increasing garlic or using alternative vinegars with subtle sweetness. Variations in ingredients provide room to customize the dressing to personal preference.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, honey, and mustard. Whisk to combine, then add the minced garlic.
- Add the oil: While whisking continuously, drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl. You should end up with a well emulsified dressing. Season to your taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
Notes
- Adjust vinegar, honey, and garlic ratios to achieve your preferred balance of tanginess and sweetness.
- Additional garlic cloves can enhance the garlic flavor if desired.
- Alternative vinegars with mild sweetness may be used instead of apple cider vinegar, maintaining the dressing’s subtle sweet-acidic profile.
