APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND HONEY SALAD DRESSING
My husband loves apple cider vinegar, and he really loves this salad dressing! So do I! If you don't have honey on hand, just substitute with sugar. We like it on the tart side, but you can always adjust by decreasing the vinegar.

TANGY CARROT-APPLE SALAD WITH CIDER VINAIGRETTE
Recipe from October 2010 Vegetarian Times. It says that the author, Matthew G. Kadey, RD, prefers sour to sweet and this recipe proves it. I did add a little extra Splenda, oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, but I leave that up to you! I did not serve mine over spinach, rather just in a small bowl as a meal starter. Lastly, I added some pepitas (pumpkin seeds without the shell), but again the addition of nuts is your choice.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the apples thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the apples: They should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
- Use a variety of nuts: Walnuts, pecans, and almonds are all great options for adding crunch and flavor.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will give the flavors time to meld.
- Serve the salad immediately: The apples will start to brown if they sit for too long.
