Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar-free maple syrup
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (or honey), minced garlic, onion powder, Dijon mustard, sea salt, lemon zest, and a few grinds of black pepper until well combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. This will help the dressing become smooth and well-blended. I prefer to use an emulsion blender.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, sweetener, or lemon zest to suit your taste preferences.
- Use the dressing immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake or whisk the dressing before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time.
Notes
Storage
- Making this low-carb vinaigrette ahead of time? No problem! Store it in an airtight container or mason jar and pop it in the fridge—it’ll stay good for up to a week.
- Don’t freak out if it looks a little solid after sitting in the fridge for a few days—mine does that, too! That’s just the olive oil doing its thing. Let it chill on the counter for a few minutes, or set the jar in a bowl of warm water, and it’ll be as good as new.
