Chick-Fil-A Zesty Apple Cider Vinaigrette Recipe

I am a big fan of Chick-fil-A's® grilled market salad and their signature zesty apple cider vinaigrette! So, I developed a recipe to fill that craving. This dressing is simply amazing… the zing of the apple cider vinegar, hint of sweet pineapple and tangy lime juice, and warm heat of the freshly cracked black pepper is a sure winner!

 1 tbsp Water
 1 tsp White sugar
  tsp Xanthan gum
 10 tbsp Vegetable oil
 ¼ cup Apple cider vinegar
 ¼ cup Honey
 2 tbsp Pineapple juice
 2 tsp Lime juice
 1 tsp Salt
 1 tsp Coarsely cracked black pepper
 ¼ tsp Garlic powder
 ¼ tsp Onion powder
  tsp Cayenne pepper

1

Combine water, sugar, and xanthan gum in a small bowl; whisk to create a smooth gel with no lumps.

2

Combine vegetable oil, vinegar, honey, pineapple juice, lime juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a medium bowl. Whisk in xanthan gum gel until dressing is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated. Transfer to a vinaigrette bottle and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
