Apple Bourbon Dressing is an homage to my time cooking at Tabla in NYC. It starts with a reduction of bourbon, apple cider, maple syrup and ginger. The finished dressing is almost good enough to drink and dresses up this simple salad with jewel toned edible flowers. Serve as a starter or alongside a delectable main dish of Bourbon Glazed Lamb Chops.
How to Store the Apple Bourbon Dressing
Just in case you accidentally make a little too much of our Apple Bourbon Dressing, you can store it and save it for later use. You’ll want to use an air-tight container, we suggest a mason jar. Then, you’re going to want to refrigerate the dressing to extend its shelf life. Since this dressing uses oil and vinegar as its base with some fresh additions, you can safely use this dressing up to 5 days. It is to note though that at times with oil dressings, they can separate while sitting in the refrigerator. Thankfully, all you need to do is bring the bottle to room temperature and then shake vigorously until the ingredients blend back together.
