Apple Cider Vinaigrette is healthy and homemade, perfect for salads all year long. Simply combine ACV, olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
By now we all know the benefits of apple cider vinegar, but if you don't or need a refresher to give this post a read and find out my new favorite way to get my intake! It's not current or breaking news that drinking apple cider vinegar daily comes with many benefits, although I just learned of them fairly recently. Anybody else?
Well, I'll let you in on a few reasons you should incorporate ACV into your diet.
- Detox your liver and other organs
- Improves heart health
- Lowers blood pressure
- Helps maintain healthy alkaline pH levels
- Regulates blood sugar
- Accelerates weight loss
- Can help prevent osteoporosis
- Relieves allergies
- Aids in digestive relief
Sold? I was too!!! What I wasn't sold on was taking a tablespoon shot of the stuff every day. Instead, I incorporated the vinegar into a salad dressing–as I needed a new tasty way to keep me hooked on a salad for lunches.
How do you incorporate ACV into your diet? Let me know in the comments section!

I can't wait to try this! I bought a bottle of apple cider vinegar with good intentions of taking a tablespoon a day. That is not happening. I love this alternative of using it in a salad dressing!
Jenna | The Urben Life
Awesome!! Haha I totally understand 🙂

Haha, I don't know how people take it straight! I hope you try this out 🙂

We also use apple cider vinegar at home to make vinaigrette as well as dipping sauce.
Jenna | The Urben Life
Awesome! Do you use more mustard and honey to make it thicker for a dipping sauce?
