Pork Free Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Bright, tangy, and warmly spiced, this homemade vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes a simple salad feel genuinely special. Apple cider vinegar brings a lively acidity, while honey rounds out the sharpness with just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. Fresh thyme and a pinch of turmeric and ginger add layers of flavor that you simply won't find in a bottle off the shelf — and you know exactly what's in it. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to greens rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield of unexpected additives, but every ingredient here is clean, straightforward, and naturally free of any pork-derived products. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make a batch on Sunday and drizzle it over everything from roasted vegetables to grain bowls all week long. A little shake before serving and it's ready to go.
