Apple Cider Vinegar

I have always loved vinegar and things with a similar taste like pickles, etc. Vinegar is another simple way to add flavor to many foods. I tend to use it for pretty much everything but thats just me. The most common thing I use it for is making my own salad dressing. It's so easy and healthier and cheaper than store bought dressings.

Balsamic vinegar was my favorite for years.

For a very simple dressing mix together:

• Balsamic vinegar
• Mustard
• Parmesan cheese
• Olive oil

Determine the proportions based on your own taste. More mustard for thicker dressing, more vinegar and olive oil for a vinaigrette, etc. You can also easily add your own ingredients and experiment but this is a place to start.

My newest obsession is Apple Cider Vinegar!

I'm learning more and more about the benefits it has but for me it started simply with how good it tastes!
