Peanut Free Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and warmly spiced, this homemade vinaigrette is the kind of thing that makes a simple green salad feel genuinely special. Apple cider vinegar brings a lively acidity, while honey softens the edge and turmeric adds a gorgeous golden hue along with a subtle earthiness. Fresh thyme and a hint of ginger round everything out into a dressing that tastes far more complex than the handful of ingredients would suggest. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield of unexpected additives and shared-facility warnings, so whipping this up yourself takes all the guesswork off the table. The technique is straightforward — just whisk the base ingredients together, then drizzle in the olive oil slowly until the whole thing emulsifies into a silky, cohesive dressing. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have effortless, flavorful salads all week long.
