How to Make Autumn Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- Combine 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup apple juice, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms.
- Increase the blender speed to medium and add the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil, blending until fully emulsified.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more brown sugar for sweetness, cayenne for heat, salt for saltiness, or apple cider vinegar for tartness.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
