Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing

Apple cider vinegar makes a friendlier dressing than most vinegars. It has natural fruit sweetness behind the acid, which means you need less oil to balance it and often no honey at all. It is the easiest place to start if your homemade dressings have been coming out harsh.

The base cider vinegar dressing

Three parts olive oil, one part cider vinegar, a heaped teaspoon of mustard, salt. Whisk the vinegar, mustard and salt together first so the salt dissolves, then stream the oil in. That is a dressing for a large bowl of leaves. Full method in the perfect vinaigrette.

Which cider vinegar for which dressing

Dressings worth making

This salad dressing is the everyday one. The kale salad shows what acid does to a tough leaf. Fennel and apple salad is the one to make when you want something clean after a heavy meal.

Common questions

  • Why does my dressing separate? No emulsifier. Mustard or honey will hold it together, and so will whisking the oil in slowly rather than all at once.
  • Can I use cider vinegar with the mother in a dressing? Yes. Shake the bottle first if you want the mother in it.
  • How long will it keep? Several days refrigerated. Bring it to room temperature before using, since cold olive oil clouds and thickens.

So delicious!

We have used this on several dishes for a little flavor and I'm planning to do fried fish and fries this weekend with this as a highlight!

Great vinegar

The best vinegars I have ever tasted. The apple cider vinegar is real, not apple cider flavored vinegar like most. It is made with real apples, and you can taste the difference. Fantastic used making hot bacon dressing for wilted salads.
I highly recommend.

I’ve been using these vinegars for three years and I would use nothing else! The red wine vinegar

I’ve been using these vinegars for three years and I would use nothing else! The red wine vinegar is my go to. I am currently enjoying the Honey Wine Vinegar, Rice Wine Vinegar, Chardonnay Wine Vinegar. The quality is exceptional !

Trust the Freebie

The free bonus bottle of hot vinegar is not something I would have ordered, but I love it—so good on garden-ripened tomatoes! Ordering was easy, delivery prompt, all contents in good condition. The vinegar has a depth and richness that grocery store vinegar just doesn’t have.

Superior quality, tasty and smooth

Did a taste test with your apple vinegar and the major national brand we use. First diluted in water then straight. In both concentrations your product wins hands down. Smoother and tastier. The choking, why'd-I-do-that response with the straight vinegar was almost worth it.

Good vinegar, and samplers are fun and practical

American Vinegar Works makes delicious vinegars. I don't like them all equally, but that's what makes the sampler packs great. I chose what I wanted to try. I highly recommend the miles from the tree cider vinegar! I also like that I can buy a small bottle when I only want a little of something specialized for a recipe. It makes a good reason to try some more kinds!
