Apple Cider and Smoked Olive Oil Vinaigrette
- PREP 10min
- TOTAL 10min
Smoked olive oil adds just a hint of smoke to this dressing made with apple cider vinegar and maple syrup. If you do not have access to a smoked olive oil, using regular olive oil will work just fine. When you toss your salad with the dressing, remember to do this lightly to prevent bruising the lettuce leaves.
You Will Need
Vinaigrette
1/2 garlic clove, grated or very finely minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons smoked olive oil, we use olive oil from enFuso
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Simple Salad
6 cups baby lettuce and greens
8 slices cooked bacon, see how we cook bacon
4 poached eggs, see how we poach eggs
Directions
Make Vinaigrette
In the bottom of a large salad bowl, whisk the garlic, mustard, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup until blended. While whisking, slowly stream in the smoked olive oil until the dressing has thickened slightly and looks emulsified. Taste then season with salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
Make Salad
Add lettuce to the bowl with smoked vinaigrette. Gently toss the leaves until lightly coated. Divide greens between plates then top with chopped bacon and a poached egg.
