Notes

Other Uses:

Here are some great other uses for this zesty apple cider vinaigrette:

Marinade: use as a marinade for chicken breasts, pork chops, or pork tenderloin. Add some of the zesty apple cider vinaigrette to a resealing plastic bag along with your protein of choice. Allow to sit for an hour before cooking. Remember to discard any uncooked marinade.
Dipping sauce: My family loves to use this sauce to dip grilled lamb chops or even Italian or other sausages. The acid provides a great contrast to the fats found in many proteins. Experiment, and let me know what your favorite combos are, too!
