Apple Dijon Vinaigrette

March 4, 2013 by Hillary 6 Comments

I used to loathe making salad dressings. I couldn’t tell you why.

Whenever my family was hosting a dinner party, I always delegated the dressing duty to my mother.

She had the magic touch.

Making salad dressing was just the nagging task in the kitchen I did not want to be bothered with.

A bottle was so much easier… and I was perfectly content with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I think it was this past Thanksgiving, when I was on salad duty, that I concocted this recipe.

I wasn’t about to pour store-bought dressing on my contribution to the meal of all meals – oh, the horror.

Now, although I still stock a bottle of Annie’s in my fridge, I’ve thrown together this easy, 5-ingredient vinaigrette a handful of times. 

A tangy delight, it will dress up the simplest of salads… 

or add that extra hint of homemade to your most gourmet.

This is a true foodie run-home-for-lunch Monday meal… not too shabby, eh?

    I am such a such an oil and vinegar girl; I can’t seem to like any other dressings.

    I made this dressing today and it was excellent! I made roasted cauliflower and leek soup, and was expecting that to be the main event, but I ended up liking my salad so much more!

    I don’t know why I never think to make my own salad dressings. I really need to start doing this to save money and to be healthier. Who wants those preservatives anyways? Thanks for the recipe :)

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
