The dressing was a crowd-pleasing sweet onion recipe that we’d used at Old Lahaina Luau. It's made with a fresh, uncooked sweet onion, that gets puréed with cider vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, and oil. Try it on our Maui Kale Salad with cabbage, spicy peanuts, and potato chips.

Ingredients

　　¼ cup apple cider vinegar

　　½ cup sugar

　　1 medium sweet onion, quartered

　　2 teaspoons celery salt

　　2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

　　¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

　　1 cup neutral oil

　　In a blender, combine the vinegar, sugar, onion, celery salt, mustard, and black pepper and process until smooth. With the blender on its lowest speed, gradually add the oil in a steady stream until the dressing is thickened. Transfer to a jar or sealable container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
