Homemade salad dressings are the best! I have always preferred making my own salad dressing since it is much healthier than most store-bought salad dressing that contains a huge list of who knows what! Not only does making your own dressing allow you to control what goes in it, but it also allows you to control the flavor and adjust it to your preference.

It is a simple vinaigrette that is very versatile and pairs well with so many things. This apple cider vinaigrette recipe can easily be adjusted to suit your taste and you can also add additional spices or seasonings depending on what you are using it for. It can be used as a healthy salad dressing or marinade. It is a great compliment to an Arugula Salad or a Tuna Cobb Salad!
Apple Cider Vinaigrette Ingredients
These apple cider vinaigrette ingredients are perfect for salads since they have multiple health benefits and antibacterial properties. Research has shown that apple cider vinegar paired with lemon juice significantly decreases the growth of salmonella and other bacteria on salad greens. The base ingredients are also sugar-free and keto-approved. However, you can add a little honey if you would prefer a sweeter salad dressing.
- apple cider vinegar
- avocado oil
- lemon juice
- garlic
- oregano
- salt
- pepper
Optional:
- honey – adding a little honey will create a sweeter dressing and create a nice balance of flavors. However, the dressing will no longer be sugar-free.
