Is Apple Cider Vinegar good for me?
Yes! Apple Cider Vinegar is extremely good for the body with so many benefits such as antioxidants and amino acids. Not only does ACV lower blood sugar, but it also detoxifies the body.
Because of the enzymes and fermentation of the vinegar, apple cider vinegar is extremely helpful when it comes to fighting bacteria. ACV is great to have around the house at all times!

It tasted a little strong on the Dijon mustard to me?
Sorry it was a little too strong for you, Matilda! You could try cutting back on the Dijon a little bit next time.
So easy and delicious! I love being able to make my own salad dressing. 🙂
This vinaigrette is flavorful & so simple to make and have on hand. I love that you used the pecans & goat cheese in the salad. 🙂
I love a good salad, this sounds amazing and super easy to make. I’ll bet it would save money from buying store bought.
I have all of these ingredients in my pantry! I’m going to whip this together to go with our dinner tonight.
Apple cider vinegar has such a versatile flavor that I’ll use this on everything, and I love the addition of mustard to make it a little creamier.
One of my favorite dressings! I love putting this on ALL salads.
Always great to have a good apple cider dressing on hand and reminds me to use up that leftover bottle!!! Simple lovely recipe 🙂
