Apple Orchard Vinaigrette

 This is a great salad dressing for autumn and winter. The sweetness of the grated apple and the brown sugar won't overpower the dressing but add a great depth of flavor. If this sounds like a strange combination of ingredients don't worry - most people thought that too until they tasted it. My favorite salad to serve this over is just some Boston lettuce, some dried cherries, walnuts, sliced apple, and crumbled goat cheese. You can always add a breast of grilled chicken over top and serve this as the main course!
 
Makes about 1 cup of dressing

3/4 cups of Olive Oil
1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 shallot (Grated)
1 half of an Apple (Grated)
2 tablespoons of Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
Pinch of salt and pepper
Pinch of cinnamon

In a large bowl combine all the ingredients and whisk together. The Dijon mustard acts as an emulsifier. If you see that the dressing isn't quite coming together, add a touch more mustard and continue whisking.
