This Oil-Free “Christmas” Dressing is our year round go-to salad enhancer in our home. It is sweet, tangy, delicious, and most importantly, super easy and fast to make.
Why this Recipe Works:
- The use of apple cider vinegar not only gives this dressing a delicious tang, but it also adds other health benefits and helps this dressing be oil-free!
Why the name “Christmas Dressing”?
- I named it “Christmas Dressing” because it tastes like Christmas! This is all thanks to the sweet maple syrup, the hint of cinnamon-y spice, and the apple-y tang from the apple cider vinegar.
How to Make Year Round Oil-Free “Christmas Dressing”:
- Simply combine all ingredients in a mason jar, secure the lid and shake your heart out! No mason jar? No problem! Use a bowl and whisk instead.
- Afterwards, drizzle over greens and toss to coat.
That’s it!
