Notes

Apple cider vinegar is a natural gut-friendly probiotic which helps strengthen your immune system.
ACV is especially useful for those with low stomach acid levels. While low stomach acid levels can lead to issues with digestion and breaking down proteins, consuming ACV can stimulate the production of stomach acids to counter this.
Prefer using unfiltered and unpasteurised apple cider vinegar with mother culture in it. The apple cider vinegar should appear turbid and have strands floating in it.
These help keep your sugar levels in check.
You can also store this dressing in a jar for up to a week.
There is a chance it may solidify in the refrigerator. So take it out and let it rest for a while before serving.
