Notes

Cider and Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider and the apple cider vinegar are different ingredients and you need both for this apple cider vinaigrette recipe. You can substitute apple juice for the apple cider if needed.
Garlic: Use a garlic press so the your garlic is tiny and disperses well through the dressing.
Make Ahead: This dressing get even better after a few hours in the fridge - make it up to a week ahead.
Storage: Store in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week. The olive oil will solidify when chilled - set the dressing on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes, then mix before serving.
