This vinaigrette combines freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice with olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey for a tangy, lightly sweet dressing. It works well over leafy greens, roasted vegetables, or grilled fish, and comes together in minutes with just a whisk or jar to shake.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Method

  1. In a small bowl or jar, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic.

  2. Whisk the mixture until the honey and mustard are fully blended into the juices.

  3. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking constantly, until the dressing emulsifies and thickens slightly.

  4. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk once more to combine.

  5. Taste and adjust seasoning or sweetness as needed, then transfer to a jar or airtight container for storage.
