Apple Cider Turmeric Vinaigrette speaks of autumn, from its bright mustardy color to the tart, but sweet flavor of apple.

Apple Cider Turmeric Vinaigrette speaks of autumn, from its bright mustardy color to the tart, but sweet flavor of apple. This vinaigrette complements any fall salad.Every salad has something that permeates each bite. It might be pieces of avocado or hard-boiled egg that get mashed up and spread throughout the salad; or it might be a simple splash of olive oil or balsamic vinegar. Most often it’s the dressing or vinaigrette. You can sense it in every forkful.

Not everyone is a fan of salad dressing or vinaigrette. They like their salads plain, and that’s fine. But I think it’s like getting dressed up in a new outfit. It looks great by itself and can certainly stand on its own; but add just the right accessory and it makes the outfit pop, or come alive. It adds to the look. It doesn’t take over. It doesn’t hide in the folds. It’s not overbearing. It’s just right. The same goes for salad dressing.Apple Cider Turmeric Vinaigrette speaks of autumn, from its bright mustardy color to the tart, but sweet flavor of apple. This vinaigrette complements any fall salad.

A good salad dressing complements the salad. It surrounds every bite and enhances the ingredients already present, adding a little flavor boost without being overbearing. That being said, if you make and eat a lot of salads in your home, it can be easy to accumulate a large number of store-bought dressings. And that takes up a lot of fridge space. In addition, store-bought dressings often bring with them unnecessary additives and excess sugar and salt. The solution? Make your own. I’ve written about this before and gave suggestions for different dressings and vinaigrettes you can make. You can see that here.

I have a new vinaigrette for you today, though – Apple Cider Turmeric Vinaigrette. It speaks of autumn, from its bright mustardy color to the tart, but sweet flavor of apple. This vinaigrette complements any fall salad. I like it drizzled it on salads with apples or pears, and it would be wonderful on salads with roasted butternut squash or sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. apple cider
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Measure all ingredients into a small bowl.
  2. Blend all ingredients together using a whisk or stick blender (hand blender) and blend until all ingredients are combined. I have found that vinaigrettes tend to take longer to separate when I use a stick blender, so that is my tool of choice. But feel free to also use a whisk.
  3. Refrigerate until ready to use.

    I love this combination. I'm a sucker for vinaigrettes, and I've never thought to use turmeric!

      Homemade vinaigrettes are so much better than store bought. I'd been wanting to get out of my comfort zone and use some spices I don't normally use, and turmeric worked very well in this!

    I absolutely love your description of salad dressings, Marie - poetic! I agree with you completely and I think a great salad dressing makes or breaks your dish. Absolutely love the colour and ingredients here, not to mention the health benefits. You are the Salad Dressing Queen!

      LOL! Thanks, Robyn. Don't you love it when something just comes to you and you go with it? That's what happened with the description and I thought it fit pretty well. Have a great weekend!

      Thanks, Shahzadi! I need to visit your site again and learn some other ways to use turmeric. Trying to branch out and incorporate other flavors into our menus here.

    Love your analogy of salad dressings to accessories on an outfit! And I love the look and sound of this dressing! I don't usually have apple cider In the house, but will have to get some just to make this dressing!
