Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette
One of the things I have really come to appreciate recently is the beauty of a good salad with all the right ingredients and a great dressing. When I take the time to make it well, it is always so worth the effort. This is one of my favorite dressings to make in the fall, as it enables me to eat salad and still feel seasonal. You can use it on any salad you like. I often use it on a very simple salad when I’m in a rush, however, I also love it on salad with apples and blue cheese and candied pecans and all sorts of other goodies. When I have the time to do all the chopping, that is my favorite way to eat this dressing. I also love to bring salad with this dressing to a gathering because people always appreciate having a healthy option, and this is seasonal and delicious as well.
Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 2 T. real maple syrup
- 4 tsp. brown sugar
- 1 tsp. dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in a large glass measuring cup and pour into a salad dressing bottle. You can also mix all of this together in a mason jar, put on the lid, and shake well.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors develop.
- If the olive oil has solidified after you remove it from the fridge, especially when you are using the leftovers, simply leave it out on the counter for a little while or run the bottle under hot water and shake to help the olive oil return to it's liquid state.
