Ginger-Apple Dressing

GINGER-APPLE DRESSING

Use this citrus- and vinegar-free dressing in a cabbage slaw or drizzled over your favorite salad. Be sure to use a very tart apple, such as Granny Smith. This gives the dressing a tangy flavor.

1 medium Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
½ cup water
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, peeled
1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger
½ to ½ teaspoon sea salt

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend for about 60 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Taste and add a little more salt if needed, and blend again. 

Store the dressing in a tightly covered glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Yield: about 1½ cups
