The recipe is for salad dressing.
It calls for apple cider vinegar but all I have are gallons of white distilled vinegar. Will it make much of a difference if I used white instead of apple cider ?

To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!
You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

They are basically the same. The main flavor of vinegar is sourness. The apple flavor isn’t as important. If there are other flavor ingredients going in the dressing, it will be hard to notice a tangible difference between white and cider vinegar.

Yes, it will
APPLE TREESI buy distilled vinegar in gallons and it is very handy for cleaning but i really don’t think it’s very tasty. I keep about 5-8 vinegars in the house, and the distilled is the only one I don’t use in food preparation.
If you have white wine vinegar, that would be preferable. I would also substitute rice vinegar before the white vinegar even though rice vinegar is very very subtle.
Red wine, balsamic, or malt would not be appropriate.
—-edit—–
Did you know that many distilled vinegars are made from wood (yes wood). They are very harsh.

Not really. Cider vinegar is a little sweeter than white vinegar, so add just a little sugar.

It will taste different but be okay. You can add a little sugar or even a teaspoon of apple juice to help the flavor.

no … I never have any apple cider vinegar, and use white distilled instead. If you had any apple juice, you could add a bit to it:)
