Sweet Onion Vinaigrette

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (or 2-3 tbls. honey or agave syrup)
  • 2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup canola oil (I like to use olive oil)

Method

  1. Combine all the listed ingredients apart from the oil in a bowl, whisking them together.
  2. Pour the oil in a slow, steady stream while you continue to whisk constantly, until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Cover the vinaigrette and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes or longer before you use it. It works well on salads, roasted vegetables, fish, meat, and rice.
