Ingredients

  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Whisk the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and garlic in a small bowl. Stream in the olive oil while whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
    You can also place all ingredients in a covered mason jar and shake until combined.

Notes

  • Recipe yields about 5 2-tablespoon servings. 
  • I rarely have fresh orange juice, so I keep frozen concentrate on hand and mix small portions with cold water as needed.
  • ​Make in small batches, as needed, for the next few days. Vinaigrettes with fresh ingredients like fresh garlic, citrus juices, and herbs have a shorter shelf-life.
