The Best 5-Minute Apple Vinaigrette
This apple vinaigrette is a wonderful way to brighten up your fall salads with just a handful of ingredients and 5 minutes on your hands. It is a sweet and savory dressing that is irresistibly good and easy to make.
Equipment
- Blender
- Chef Knife
- Cutting Board
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- ½ Lemon squeezed
- 2 tbsp Honey
- ¼ tsp Salt
- Black Pepper Powder a pinch
- 1 clove Garlic minced
Instructions
- Mince the garlic properly, get your measuring cups and spoons out, and get the proportions of the ingredients right.
- Mix apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic olive oil, salt, and black pepper powder in a blender, and blitz them for 10 seconds.
- Your creamy apple cider vinaigrette is ready to serve. Pour it over your salads, add it while stir-frying the veggies, or use it as a dip.
Notes
- Honey alternatives: Instead of honey, you can go for maple syrup. It has a slightly lower sugar level than honey and its caramel-like flavor profile will keep things fresh and interesting.
- Add more herbs: Oregano or thyme will make this dressing ten times better. Their herbal essence imbues a freshness that's unmatched. Even crushed mint can also be utilized.
- Add Dijon mustard: Mustard helps to emulsify the vinaigrette. I did not add it because I don't like its pungent flavor, and it ruins this recipe for me. But, if that's not the case for you, Dijon mustard can be a great addition.
