Ingredients
- ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove pressed or finely minced
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- Black pepper to taste
- Optional: ¼ cup toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a jar with a lid, add the olive oil, avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Close the lid tightly and shake until everything is well combined.
- Stir in the chopped hazelnuts (if using).
- Store in the fridge and use throughout the week on salads, roasted veggies, or bowls.
Notes
Make it milder: For a softer, more balanced flavor, use a mix of oils. I like combining extra virgin olive oil with vegetable oil (or avocado oil). The olive oil adds flavor, while the vegetable oil mellows out any bitterness — especially great for family-friendly salads.
Storage: Keep in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to one week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using.
