Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Why You’ll Love this Apple Cider Vinaigrette

The flavor is crisp and slightly creamy with a subtly sweet taste. It’s super easy to make and is so much cheaper to make your own salad dressing. It has healthy, all-natural ingredients (no weird ingredients that you can’t pronounce that are normally in store-bought dressings).

Apple Cider Vinaigrette Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup EVOO
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper

Find the complete recipe with instructions at the bottom of this post.

    I’m trying this dressing today and know we will have leftovers. Is it essential that it be refrigerated? The only thing different from my usual drawing is the honey.
    If I don’t refrigerate it, how many days can it stay out?
    Thanks

      Hi JoAnne, I would recommend refrigerating it. When you’re ready to use it again just bring it to room temperature and shake well.

      In my humble opinion there’s absolutely no reason this dressing needs to be refrigerated. Do you refrigerate olive oil, honey, or vinegar? No. So why would you need to refrigerate when those ingredients are combined?

    Very nice recipe, but I needed a little tang so I added a few splashes of balsamic vinaigrette. Totally yummy!

    One of the most enjoyable and easy to make dressings I have ever had! Not a fan of vinaigrette’s but this is now my go to dressing from here on out! I love the simple healthy ingredients. To me less is always best.

    Thank you so much for the great recipe and easy to follow instructions.

    Love this❤️ Why can it only be refrigerated for 5 days. I didn’t read that part and I used the dressing refrigerated after a month or more.

      If you have leftover dressing you can refrigerate this for up to 5 days.

        Why 5 days? I don’t see anything that would go bad?

    My sister makes a similar recipe which I tried while visiting her over the Christmas holiday but hers came out creamier than min when I tried it. I followed your recipe and I’m not sure why but I still didn’t get the creaminess I wanted, unless I measured wrong since I was trying for no clean up and did everything by eye. Any suggestion which ingredient I need to add a bit more creaminess to this vinaigrette? Thanks, this is my new go to salad dressing!

      Hi Deborah, This salad dressing was made to be slightly creamy. I’m not sure what your consistency was since you didn’t pre measure anything. You could always add more Honey to make it thicker if you wanted. Glad you like it! 🙂
