Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons agave syrup
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Add 2 tablespoons of agave syrup to the mixture. Continue to whisk until the agave syrup is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup of olive oil while whisking continuously. This will help to emulsify the dressing, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
- Once the olive oil is fully mixed in, taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a small pinch of each and adjust according to your preference.
- After seasoning, give the dressing one final whisk to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or airtight container. You can use it immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Before serving, give the dressing a good shake or stir, as some separation may occur during storage.
Tips
- Whisk with Purpose: When combining ingredients, whisk vigorously to create a smooth, well-emulsified dressing that won't separate quickly.
- Olive Oil Quality Matters: Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor and richness.
- Temperature Tip: For best results, let the dressing sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Customization is Key: Feel free to adjust the agave syrup or Dijon mustard to suit your taste preferences - make it your own!
- Storage Hack: Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake well before each use to re-emulsify the dressing.
- Versatility Bonus: This dressing isn't just for salads - try it as a marinade for chicken, a dip for roasted vegetables, or a drizzle over grilled proteins.
