Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing
Description
The Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing is made by whisking together apple cider vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The mustard helps to emulsify the oil and vinegar, creating a cohesive dressing. The garlic adds a sharp, aromatic note. The balance of tartness from the vinegar and richness from the olive oil allows this dressing to brighten salads without overwhelming them.
This dressing can be stored refrigerated and shaken or whisked again before use to recombine. The instructions also suggest using a blender for a smoother, fully emulsified texture with finer garlic integration. It serves well on a variety of leafy greens or vegetable salads, adding tang and savory depth.
The straightforward ingredients and method make it practical to prepare fresh as desired. Adjusting salt and pepper to taste after mixing helps personalize the seasoning balance according to the salad or personal preference.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt + more if needed, sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper + more if needed, freshly ground
Instructions
- Whisk to combine: Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Or add all ingredients into a mason jar and shake to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Store: Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If the olive oil becomes solid (this is normal), simply let the dressing sit out on the counter for 10-15 minutes and then whisk or shake to combine and serve.
Notes
- Use a blender to fully emulsify the dressing and finely chop the garlic for a smoother texture.
- Store the vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- If the olive oil solidifies when refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes and shake or whisk before serving.
