Apple Cider Vinaigrette
Apple cider vinaigrette is a light and tangy salad dressing that you can make in 5 minutes. It is so versatile you can dress almost any salad with it such as this butternut squash salad. This homemade recipe tastes much better than commercial ones, doesn't contain preservatives, and is healthy (low-carb and gluten-free).
