A bright and versatile citrus vinaigrette that transforms any salad or vegetable dish. This zesty dressing works beautifully with leafy greens, roasted vegetables, seafood, salads, etc. Use blood oranges when in season for an extra special touch. The dressing keeps well in the refrigerator and can be served cold or gently warmed.

Ingredients

  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 lime
  • 1½ tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Zest all the citrus into a bowl. Halve the fruit and squeeze all the juice into the same bowl to get ⅔ cup juice (remove any seeds).
  2. Whisk in the honey, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and several twists of pepper. Taste and adjust with more honey, vinegar, salt and pepper as needed to make the flavor vibrant.
  3. Whisk in the olive oil a few drops at a time, or use a blender/food processor and drizzle in the oil while running for a creamier, emulsified vinaigrette.
  4. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve cold or gently warmed.
