Cranberry Apple Salad Dressing

image 1.jpg

I recently discovered just how simple it is to make your own salad dressing. It basically comes down to flavor: balancing out sweet, sour, salty, and peppery. If these four things are well-balanced, a dressing has been made! Yes, it's THAT easy. For this dressing, I basically just threw together some ingredients that I had in my pantry, and it was delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbs. Apple Cider
  • 1/2 tbs. Lime or Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbs. Honey
  • 2 tbs. Fresh Cranberries
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Pinch of Pepper

Note:

All of these ingredients are "to taste" meaning that it isn't necessary to follow the recipe exactly. I recommend starting with the amounts I have listed, then dipping in a piece of lettuce to see if it's to your liking. From there, you can add whatever more of the flavors you want to get the dressing to your liking.

Blend

Add all of the ingredients, except the oil, into the blender/food processor. Blend until the cranberries have been pulverized into juice.

Add the Oil

With the blender/food processor on a medium-low setting, slowly add in the oil. Continue to blend until the oil has emulsified with the other ingredients.

Serve & Enjoy!
