Apple Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Apple Vinaigrette Dressing

Tasty and ready homemade Apple Vinaigrette salad dressing is a perfect sweet and tangy dressing for summer salads. The process for making this dressing is as simple as combining the ingredients in the blender and pulsing it until the dressing is smooth.

Ingredients

• 5 oz red apple (gala, pink lady, McIntosh, or any other sweeter apple)
• 2 oz shallot (1 medium shallot)
• 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp apple juice
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Dash of salt

Substitutions

• If you do not have a shallot on hand, you can substitute another onion.
• Brown sugar can be substituted by honey if you wish.
• White wine vinegar can be substituted by white balsamic or apple vinegar.

Instructions

• Peel and core the apple. Peel the onion. Chop both onion and apple for easier blending. 
• Add all ingredients in a blender and pulse until the dressing is all blended and smooth.
• Refrigerate in a glass, air-tight container.
• (Generally a vinaigrette can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks but I use it within 7-10 days to be safe.)
