Turkey Free Apple Cider Vinaigrette
This bright, golden vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put it on everything — salads, roasted vegetables, grain bowls, you name it. Apple cider vinegar brings a gentle tang, while honey rounds out the acidity with just enough sweetness to keep things balanced. Fresh thyme and a pinch of turmeric give it an herby, slightly earthy depth that feels a step above anything you'd grab off a store shelf. The slow drizzle of olive oil while whisking is the key move here — it creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to every leaf instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Optional garlic nudges the flavor into savory territory if you want a little more punch. It comes together in minutes and keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make a batch on Sunday and have a genuinely great dressing ready all week long.
