Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing

in #food6 years ago

The ingredient that makes this dressing really pop with flavor is the fresh squeezed orange juice. What made this particular rendition of this dressing great was that I used the Cara Cara variety of oranges. If you are not familiar, Cara Cara oranges are a very sweet, red-ish fleshed orange. Although any type of orange will work in this recipe, I do love the tangy sweetness of the Cara Cara orange, and it's seedless, which makes squeezing the juice out a breeze.

When crafting my own dressing, I like to start with a base of olive oil. But not just any olive oil will do. I am always sure to use a robustly flavored oil, one that has that unique olive-y taste to it. This ensures the dressing turns out flavorful, and not bland.

Because of it's natural sweetness, this dressing is a great addition to salads that have fruit in them, such as this or this. It also works great in a pasta salad.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • juice of 1 orange

Combine all ingredients, oils first, followed by the honey, orange juice and spices. Whisk together to combine. Separation is natural, so whisk or stir again before serving.
