Equipment

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.

How to store:

This apple cider vinaigrette can be stored for up to a couple of weeks in the fridge.

Remember to keep it in an air-tight container like a glass jar to retain the flavors and avoid spoilage.

Don't freeze the dressing as it will separate the ingredients and spoil the flavors and textures.
