Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove (grated or minced)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Alternatively, place the ingredients in a mason jar, tighten the lid, and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds until the dressing is well emulsified.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor, or substitute with garlic powder if preferred.
  • Adjust the salt and pepper to taste for a milder or sharper dressing.
  • Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you like a touch of sweetness.

Storage

Store the dressing in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or whisk well before each use, as the ingredients may naturally separate over time.

How to Serve
