Lots of condiments have extra sugar in them. They can be pricey too! So I just make mine at home. I make most of my food from scratch now. It took me a while to get here. I control all the ingredients and sugar content. Toss all the ingredients in a 25oz jar with a good lid and shake well.
Add together:
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups olive oil
- 1 tsp of dried stevia leaves
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1/4 tsp celery salt
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
If you like a bit of heat... add 1 finely chopped jalapeno.
This is a great way to get apple cider vinegar into your diet. I prefer an organic raw unfiltered unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the mother. I like Bragg's brand. Acetic acid is the main ingredient in apple cider vinegar and is believed to be responsible for its health benefits. Some apple cider vinegar contains a murky substance called mother, made of: protein strands, enzymes, and friendly bacteria. Quality brands have some amino acids and antioxidants.
Please make sure you are using apple cider vinegar correctly. It is a mild acid that must be diluted. Some people start with 1 to 2 tsp per 8 oz. glass of water and will increase over time up to 1 to 2 tbsp. I prefer the salad dressing. Just be on the look out for a burning throat, upset stomach, tooth enamel erosion, and/or drug interactions. So please make sure to keep your doctor informed of your dietary changes and do look at the pharmacy's drug fact sheets with your prescriptions.
