Hello everyone!
It seems like it has been forever since I shared a recipe with you guys… Believe it or not a week of absence here made me miss it and you guys so so much!
This week I was very busy doing some client work but I was also dealing with some health issues that forced me to eat a little differently. So to make my life easier I started making this homemade apple cider vinegar dressing from scratch, that way whenever it’s time to eat I don’t need to do too much. I grab my greens, my dried cranberries and my nuts, throw them in a bowl and top it with this homemade raw dressing.
Tadaaa!! I got lunch in less than 5 minutes. This is also perfect for when my EDS has the best of me and I can’t get out of bed or do much that day because of how fatigued I feel.
Anyone know about EDS?
It is a genetic mutation that leads to your body producing faulty collagen… The connective tissue takes a hit because of this and well … Our body is mainly made out of collagen so It has been a tough disease. I think I will start sharing a little more about it with you guys, about my journey as well as how I cope.
Hopefully I can bring awareness to this rare disease and maybe even find a community of people with the same issue so we can help each other 🙂

Ingredients to make this easy and healthy apple cider vinegar dressing
- Apple cider vinegar – When shopping for apple cider vinegar, make sure to get the one that says with the mother. That’s the one that still has all the health benefits.
- Olive oil– Get the best tasting olive oil! I use my Algerian olive oil because It is probably the best olive oil in the world. Hopefully one day I can import it to American and everyone else can try it!
- Dijon mustard- The mustard will give the perfect tang and creaminess to this homemade healthy dressing.
- salt
- pepper- If at all possible, crack your black peppercorns freshly. Those would have a lot more flavor compared to the pepper that is already cracked.
- garlic- Use fresh garlic clove. Grating it will give you so much flavor as well as health benefits.
ACV dressing modifications
This dressing is pretty sour because that’s how my sister likes it. But if you don’t want it to be too sour you can use ⅓ cup of olive oil instead of just ¼ cup. That will help balance out the acidity of this homemade salad dressing!
How to make this ACV salad dressing?
To make this ACV dressing from scratch you have two options:
