Citrus Vinaigrette
Homemade vinaigrette perks up any salad. This citrus version can be made with either fresh citrus juice (your choice of lemon, orange, lime or a combination!) or with a citrus flavored vinegar.
For those who enjoy an apple cider vinegar, Little Apple Treat's Blood Orange + Meyer Lemon Apple Cider Vinegar has a perfect balance of acidity and fruitiness. It can also be used anywhere you would add a squeeze of lemon to brighten flavors.
For balsamic lovers, the Ritrovo Citrus Balsamic has a high viscosity that makes it perfect for emulsifying into dressing. It's also delightful drizzled over fresh fruit.
The best olive oil for salad dressing is flavorful and fruity. We use a 100% organic olive oil from the Puglia.
