Notes

  • Opt for freshly squeezed orange juice for the best vinaigrette flavor! Avoid using any bottled orange juice from the grocery store.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to your preferred liking - it's the best sweetener for this dressing. Balancing the sweetness with the tangy orange makes a well-rounded vinaigrette.
  • For extra orange flavor, you can add a little orange zest to the mix.
  • Since we're using simple ingredients, make sure to use a high-quality olive oil and fresh oranges.
  • My orange vinaigrette is not only perfect for salads, especially ones with a tangy cheese like feta or goat cheese, but also makes a great marinade for beef, chicken, fish, or vegetables.
  • To use it as a marinade, you can even add a little bit of garlic and pepper for flavor.
  • For the best results and flavor, chill the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before drizzling over salads.
