Red Onion Vinaigrette

Red Onion Vinaigrette

This dressing has a burst of flavor without any sugar.  Remember 4 grams of sugar equals about 1 teaspoon. When you are reading labels, use this calculation to know how much sugar is your intake.  It’s stunning to notice how much sugar is added to bottled dressings.  Enjoy this salad dressing quilt-free.

1/2 red onion, chopped or Vidalia, green onions, shallots chopped

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

¼ cup plus 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar or Balsamic vinegar

2/3 cup olive oil

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until a dressing consistency.  Pour the dressing into a jar with a tight lid and refrigerate. When refrigerated, this dressing will keep for several weeks.

Tip:  For variety, change the onion and the vinegar and the result is equally good.

        For a pink colored dressing, use the red onion and the apple cider vinegar. 

        The Balsamic vinegar will turn the dressing to a caramelized brown color.
