Vidalia Onion Dressing Ingredients

1/2 large Vidalia onion, chopped
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons creamy Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping half of a large Vidalia onion into small pieces to ensure easy blending and a smooth dressing texture.
Blend Ingredients: Add the chopped Vidalia onion, apple cider vinegar, sugar, creamy Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, and salt into a blender or food processor. Blend these ingredients until the mixture is well pureed and smooth.
Incorporate Oil Slowly: With the blender or food processor running on low, slowly add the olive oil a little at a time through the hole on the top. This gradual addition helps emulsify the dressing, creating a creamy and well-blended texture.
Finish and Serve: Once all the olive oil is incorporated and the dressing is creamy and smooth, transfer it to a serving container. Chill if desired before serving to enhance flavors.

Notes

If you prefer a thinner dressing, add a tablespoon of water or additional vinegar to adjust the consistency.
Use fresh Vidalia onions for the best sweet and mild onion flavor.
This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container.
Shake or stir well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
For a tangier dressing, increase the apple cider vinegar slightly.
