Elevate your salads and dishes with this Sugar-Free Apple Cider Vinaigrette Dressing, a vibrant and wholesome alternative to store-bought dressings. Made in just 10 minutes, this tangy dressing combines the bold flavor of apple cider vinegar with the smooth richness of extra-virgin olive oil. Freshly minced garlic, Dijon mustard, zesty lemon juice, and a dash of dried oregano infuse every drop with layers of savory goodness. Perfectly seasoned with salt and ground black pepper, this sugar-free vinaigrette offers a clean, health-conscious option that pairs beautifully with leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls. Store it in your fridge for up to a week and shake well before enjoying its fresh, bold taste!
1. Begin by finely mincing the garlic clove. You can use a garlic press or finely chop it with a sharp knife.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk the mixture well to incorporate the garlic evenly.
3. Add the Dijon mustard to the vinegar mixture. Continue whisking until the mustard is fully dissolved and the liquid is smooth.
4. Slowly drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl while whisking continuously. This helps to emulsify the dressing and create a creamy consistency.
5. Once the oil is fully incorporated, season the dressing with salt, ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Whisk again to ensure even distribution of seasonings.
6. Taste the dressing and adjust any seasonings if necessary, according to your preference.
7. Transfer the vinaigrette to a jar or a bottle with a tight-sealing lid. Shake well before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
8. Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake thoroughly before using on your favorite salads or dishes.
