  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. This is your vinaigrette.

  3. Pour the vinaigrette over the apple mixture.
  4. Toss gently until all ingredients are lightly coated.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best crunch.
  • You can add 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or feta for extra flavor.
