The first couple of years that I lived in Virginia I didn’t step foot in a grocery store unless in was Walmart and even then I rarely ventured over to the food aisles. It wasn’t until I moved off campus and dropped my meal plan that I began grocery shopping and it threw me for a loop.
I knew things in Virginia were different from where I was from in New York but I didn’t think it would even be different at the grocery store! But in fact it was. The first thing I noticed? I couldn’t find Goya Sazon or Adobo ANY.WHERE. I had to get it from home. Years later I found small versions of what I needed. Next thing I noticed? I couldn’t get huge jugs of Red Wine Vinegar, I could barely get medium sized bottles of it. I could however find a ton of Apple Cider Vinegar something I had never recalled even seeing before. For the record I tested this theory recently when I went to NY and they do have Apple Cider Vinegar where I looked however not nearly as much as VA.
Here there have shelves and shelves of it, Heinz make a filtered and unfiltered versions
Unfiltered apple cider vinegar has a cloudy appearance. Filtered Apple Cider Vinegar is much clearer. Unfiltered vinegar has enzymes and nutrients that filtered apple cider vinegar does not have. In my opinion unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar has a stronger taste.

Uses Unfiltered For
Salads, Recipes & Marinades
We normally use filtered Apple Cider Vinegar but after hearing about some of the health benefits of unfiltered I decided to try out a new salad dressing recipe. It was a hit and beyond easy to make!
Ingredients
Directions
- Combine 3/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar, 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 3 cloves minced garlic, Salt & Pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon basil and 1 teaspoon thyme.
- Add 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil and mix.
Notes
You can serve immediately but it's best to let the flavors blend together for 1-3 hours before serving.
The layers will separate so shake before serving.

The recipe looks delicious. Pinned to make later. I had no idea the difference between filtered and unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. I normally buy filtered but now I’m going to have add unfiltered to my list instead.

Is the fresh or dried herbs? Makes a difference. Thanks.
I used dried!
I made this for the first time and it seems so liquid. Not creamy but more like water then a dressing. Does this tighten up when it is in the fridge or did I mess it all up?
If using fresh herbs, use half, as they are generally stronger in flavor from the garden (1/3 for oregano, so so strong when fresh) however, sweet basil can be doubled, in my opinion.
The only thing I’d add is an 1/8 cup of heavy cream to make it creamy Italian!
Thank you!
