Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized Green apple (Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Core and roughly chop the green apple, leaving the skin on for extra flavor and nutrients.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it for easier blending.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped green apple, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and emulsified. Pause to scrape down the sides if needed.
If the vinaigrette is too thick for your liking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey if needed.
Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
