Tips:

  • Choose a good quality apple cider vinegar: Apple cider vinegar is the base of the dressing, so it's important to choose a good quality one. Look for a vinegar that is unfiltered and has a strong, pungent flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: The amount of honey in the dressing is adjustable, so you can make it as sweet or as tart as you like. If you want a sweeter dressing, add more honey. If you prefer a tarter dressing, add less honey or omit it altogether.
  • Make a big batch: This dressing is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So, feel free to make a big batch and keep it on hand for your favorite salads.
