Ingredients

  • 1 cup home-brewed ale (most types of ale will work well)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 T. brown mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

In a lidded jar, combine all ingredients. Shake vigorously, and serve over fresh greens. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks.

Makes about 2 cups.
