What You’ll Need
I’d be willing to bet you already have most of the ingredients needed to make this apple cider vinegar dressing. A full list of ingredients with measurements for this recipe is available in the printable recipe card below.
- Mayonnaise or Greek yogurt – These are interchangeable, but if using Greek yogurt, make sure it is plain and not vanilla flavored. You can even try making your own homemade mayonnaise if you feel up to it!
- Apple cider vinegar
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Honey
- Dijon mustard
- Coarse sea salt
- Ground black pepper
- Salt – Using a little bit of coarse sea salt in the dressing helps to bring out the other flavors. Make sure not to use iodized salt, as it can have an iron after taste.
- Seasonings – Throw in whatever seasonings you’d like to! Fresh garlic, fresh herbs like thyme or oregano or even a pinch of red pepper flakes would all be great additions.
- Swaps and add ins – After mixing, fold in crumbled bacon, minced shallots, chives, poppy seeds or minced celery for some texture.
- Senses – Bright and tangy, apple cider vinegar dressing awakens the senses with a crisp aroma, zesty bite, and a refreshing balance of sweet and tart on the tongue.
Ways to Use It
The obvious way to use this apple cider vinegar dressing is as a salad dressing, but the uses go way beyond that! If using as a salad dressing, use on my favorite side salad, a fresh cobb salad, a kale salad or your favorite fall salad.
I also like to use this dressing as a marinade for meats. It’s especially great with chicken, pork and salmon. You could also use is as a tangy dip for fresh veggies like carrots and celery.
