Ingredients

  • 1 orange peeled and segmented
  • ½ shallot peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Dressing can be covered and kept in refrigerator up to one week.
  • Allow to stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, and shake well or whisk before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to tweak the amounts of honey and acid to your taste. If you’d like a sweet dressing, add a bit more honey. For a tangier flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice and/or vinegar.
  • If you have any fresh herbs on hand, add them! Depending on what you’ll be using the dressing for, chopped fresh herbs like basil, cilantro or mint make a nice addition to this dressing.
