Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing

Boldly flavored Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing will be accompanying any of your salad recipes in no time! So quick and easy to make!

Do you follow the whole “drink apple cider vinegar daily” trend?

I don’t. Okay…well I kinda do. I put some in my matcha tea every morning so I guess I do?

Don’t look at me like that. It’s actually really good. It cuts the “earthy” taste of matcha and I think it makes it better. Try it, you’ll see.

But, I digress.

Whether you do or don’t, now you can feel super healthy and get your daily ACV by pouring it on your salad!

It’s just as easy to make as the whole30 balsamic vinaigrette dressing but is more jam packed with flavor comparable to miso lemon tahini dressing.

Not the same flavor but, like, the same BOLDNESS of flavor. Am I confusing you?

Don’t be confused about this: you will like salads when you use this dressing.
