Notes
Storage:
Store any leftover apple cider vinaigrette in an airtight container or mason jar with a secure lid and keep it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Before using, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to allow the oil to naturally soften. Give it a good shake to re-emulsify the ingredients, then drizzle it over your favorite salads for that fresh, homemade flavor all week long.
Tips + Modifications:
Adjust the vinaigrette to your liking. Add additional salt, maple syrup, or Dijon as desired.
Make it creamy by adding a touch of cashew or almond butter.
Feel free to swap the apple cider vinegar for red wine vinegar.
