This is everything you want in a sweet, tangy, and creamy salad dressing. Sweet Vinegar and Oil Dressing is complex yet subtle, the perfect vehicle to tie delicate cucumber salads together.
Bring apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, sugar, and salt to a simmer over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat. Let cool.
½ cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
Add oil and vinegar mixture to a blender once cooled. Add Dijon mustard and mayonnaise and blend until well combined, around 20 seconds.
1 ½ tablespoons mayo, ½ tablespoon Dijon
Pour dressing into a lidded container (like a Mason jar) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before use.
If making a cucumber salad, pour the dressing over vegetables and let sit for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
The dressing shouldn’t separate, but if you experience some separation in the dressing just make sure to shake it vigorously before using!
