This vinaigrette is so yummy! It is incredible on any salad, but I particularly like it on a fall salad of arugula, honey crisp apples, toasted seeds or nuts, cranberries, and a sprinkle of feta cheese (I'll write that post next:).
This dressing can be adapted to highlight the flavors of your salad, or to reflect your favorite flavors. You can swap the cider and cider vinegar out for citrus juice or a berry puree and a vinegar of your choice. You could also swap the dijon mustard for a honey mustard if you're not a fan of dijon.
It's easy to make... I simply measure all of the ingredients into a recycled jelly jar and shake it up! I often double the recipe so I have a nice homemade dressing to take for lunch too.
It's nice to add a handful of chopped fresh herbs to the dressing or the top of your salad right before serving.

This was a delicious vinaigrette. Perfect combination of sweet and tangy. I served it on a salad with Romain lettuce, dried cranberries, sliced apple, shredded Swiss cheese, and candied pecans. It was one of the best salads we’ve had in a long time. Thank you so much for this recipe!
