pantry staples: bragg organic apple cider vinegar

March 14th, 2012 | Posted by admin in PANTRY STAPLES - (0 Comments)

Bragg Organic Apple Cider… I think it’s the best cider vinegar around.

This is a staple in my pantry along with other wonderful vinegars.  I think we tend to concentrate on balsamic, champagne, red wine vinegar and all the flavors, but this vinegar is amazing!  I love to have a mix ready in my fridge… ¼ cider vinegar, ¼ canola, ¼ olive oil, minced garlic clove, teaspoon of Dijon mustard mix with an emulsion blender or whisk  (of course a dash of kosher salt & pepper).  This is the perfect marinade or dressing for slaw, a fruit salad, pork tenderloin, or any veggie.  I love to revisit the classic staples we may all know but at times forget to use.  Let me know what you think.
