- Jar with Tight Fitting Lid
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ⅓ cup Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- In a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Screw on the lid tightly and shake for a minute or so until all of the ingredients are combined and emulsified. Serve or refrigerate.
Notes
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Any neutral-tasting oil, like sunflower, avocado or grapeseed oil, can be used.
- Dijon Mustard: This is a key ingredient for flavor and emulsification of the salad dressing. If you use yellow mustard, the dressing will be a thinner consistency with a less balanced flavor.
- Honey: Maple syrup or sugar can be swapped for the honey.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Can be substituted for white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice.
- Add herbs like thyme, oregano, basil or parsley to give this salad dressing a different flavor or add red chili flakes for a spicy twist.
- Add a small amount of mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt to make this salad dressing creamy.
- Adjust the sweetness by gradually adding your sweetener of choice.
- Shake the dressing well to emulsify the ingredients. The dressing can also be made by whisking vigorously or using an immersion blender.
- Store dressing in a tightly sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or stir it quickly before serving.
