Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or honey works
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients and taste: Add the ingredients to a small bowl with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk, taste, and adjust with more salt (if needed) until the flavor is just right. Then serve! Be sure when ready to serve that you mix the dressing or shake it in a bottle to emulsify the ingredients again.

Notes

How to store salad dressing - This salad dressing is best kept at room temperature in a cooler dark area. A jar with a tightly sealed lid is optimal! Use within 7-10 days of making.
