This flavourful vinaigrette stars the “Queen of Spices” with zingy lemon juice and notes of tart, sour apples from the apple cider vinegar. 

More on Cardamom

A seed pod in the ginger family with two main varieties green (the most popular) and black. Green cardamom can be used in both sweet and savoury recipes, while black cardamom is best suited to savoury dishes. 

The pods in green cardamom are bright green with tiny black seeds on the inside. It has a sweet, eucalyptus-like aroma that will add a fresh note. It is considered to be a pungent spice because of its strong camphor-like flavour. 

Black cardamom pods are larger and have a flavour that is sweet earthy with smoky undertones and a coolness similar to mint. The differences between the two mean that it is not a good idea to substitute black with green and visa-versa in your recipes. 

You will find cardamom seeds in an Indian specialty shop, or you can buy it online from Herbie’s in Australia, and either iHerb or Amazon in the US. At a pinch, you can always crack open the pods and remove the seeds, but this is quite time-consuming.
