This apple cider vinaigrette is a lifesaver when you want to throw together a quick salad for lunch. I generally avoid buying store-bought dressings as they’re packed with harmful ingredients, and honestly, making your own salad dressing at home is SO easy.
This vinaigrette is tangy, sweet, and savory at the same time. I love that I can make it quickly in a small jar, and shake it until it’s emulsified into a creamy luscious dressing.
So here’s the deal, you only need a few simple ingredients that you already have in your kitchen, combine them and drizzle on whatever salad you’re making! This dressing is light on salad leaves, and won’t make your salad soggy.

How To Make Recipe
- The best way to combine and emulsify the salad dressing is using a small jar, add all of your ingredients, seal the jar and shake until you get a well combined dressing. If you don’t have a jar, use a whisk and whisk vigorously in a bowl until very well combined. This is the jar that I use.
- Pour over the prepped salad leaves and toss gently to combine.
Storing Tips
Store leftover apple cider vinaigrette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you’re planning to serve it later, I recommend adding the garlic right before serving as the flavor of the garlic can intensify more than desired.
