This homemade apple cider vinaigrette is part of our Basics series. It's a good,easy salad dressing that can also be used on vegetables and as a marinade
- 1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspooon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 pinches sugar optional
- 3 Tablespoons shallots chopped
-
Chop the shallots finely. Add all ingredients to a lidded jar or cruet and shake away.
Once the liquid comes together and you have a nice golden color the dressing is ready!
If you want to use a bowl instead of a jar, add all ingredients except the olive oil. Whisk. Then slowly add the olive oil while you whisk. If you add the oil too quickly the dressing will not emulsify or it will take a lot longer.
The jar makes sense because then you can just pop it in the refrigerator to store
Ingredient substitutions are in the post above. Keep in mind that you can use whatever vinegar is your favorite and the olive oil can be substituted with any neutral flavored oil.
