Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl or jar with a lid, add olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and honey.

Stir or whisk the liquids together until well combined.

Whisk all ingredients until the dressing is emulsified and smooth. Alternatively, if using a jar, seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously until combined.
