Servings: 6
Course: Salad Dressing
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small jar. Secure lid and shake vigorously to combine. Enjoy!
  2. This vinaigrette will store in the fridge for 7-10 days. The vinegar and oil will separate after a few days, so allow the vinaigrette to sit out at room temperature for a bit until you can shake it again to reincorporate everything.
  3. If storing, be sure to use a plastic lid or place a piece of wax or parchment paper between the metal lid and the jar to stop the vinegar from corroding the metal lid.
