To dress this salad, I made my Apple Cider Vinaigrette. I rarely buy bottles of dressing any longer because it's very easy to form my very own , especially vinaigrette. This one starts with vegetable oil and adds apple vinegar , dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and basil. Easy!
