In my previous post I discussed various ways of creating apple cider vinegar detox beverages. If that’s not your cup of ‘tea’ but you’d still like to take advantage of the amazing health benefits of ACV you can incorporate it into your meals in appetizing ways.
Dressings & Condiments
A great salad dressing can marinate your favorite meats and veggies or hussy up pasta, beans, and leafy greens.
Choose spinach, romaine, kale, arugula and/or red leaf lettuce to maximize nutritional bang per serving. Avoid ‘water greens’ such as iceberg lettuce weighing in at 96% water and lacking essential nutrients.
The Basil Vinaigrette, Light Italian, French and Sweet Dijon salad dressing recipes are beautifully simple, simply gather your ingredients and combine.
Tangy and tasty – Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing recipe. Honey Poppy Seed Dressing is wonderful paired with fruit.
Some like it hot, those people will love this Carolina-style Barbeque Sauce, not for the faint of heart!
Appetizers & Side Dishes
Jalapeno Jelly is made with red & green peppers making it a festive Christmas relish for your dining table or serve with cream cheese & crackers.
It doesn’t matter if you enjoy turkey once a year or all 365 days, this Cranberry Chutney is certainly ‘killer’ as a cranberry sauce replacement or a turkey sandwich topping.
You can add a dash of apple cider vinegar to your coleslaw for flavor or follow this Coleslaw recipe.
If you want to make beets like my grandma (and trust me, you do) add diced red onion to this Sweet and Sour Pickled Beets recipe.
I never thought of adding apples to soup…until now. Follow the directions for this Apple Cider Beef Stew or add ACV to your favorite homemade soup.
Hearty Dishes
Next time you fire up the grill why not try preparing Grilled Sausages with Carmelized Onions and Apples. Take the opportunity to discover your favorite sausage and grill a medley of bratwurst, bangers, turkey and beef – your taste buds will thank you for taking them to SausageFest!
While the grill is hot why not bring seafood to the party with Alaskan BBQ Salmon.
Add Papa’s Vinegar Chicken to the grill menu and enjoy a basic protein bursting with new flavor!
I am yearning to try this Pork Tenderloin with Apples. Plate this meal with a glass of Riesling on the side and impress the pectin out of your next dinner-date!
Pork is popularly paired with ACV; Pork Chops with Apple Cider Glaze. Tender, juicy chops are guaranteed with this marinated Pork Brine dish. Raid the liquor cabinet and drink eat to your health – whiskey is one of the ingredients in Bourbon Apple Cider and Honey Glazed Pork Chops.
If you prefer Chef Mic(rowave) do the cooking try this Microwave Tilapia recipe, it doesn’t get easier than that!
Dessert
I love slow-cooker recipes because you just set ’em & forget ’em! Don’t mind the mouth-watering that will ensue when you check out this Apple Butter recipe that calls for 12lbs of apples…round up the family for quality apple-peeling time and enjoy your just desserts!
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…a Mock Apple Pie!? I am fascinated to try this pie made with butter crackers and absolutely no apples that will have everyone believing it’s as American as cracker pie!
Portuguese Burnt Sugar Candy…calls for just a touch of ACV but looked so interesting I had to share.
