Orange vinaigrette

This easy orange vinaigrette is delicious and great on salads. It only takes a few minutes to make and adds just the right amount of flavor. This recipe is sweet, savory and a little tangy. The perfect ingredient to make any salad come alive.

This orange vinaigrette pairs well with hearty salads like roasted beet salad, sweet potatoes, potatoes, roasted carrots or grilled zucchini. This dressing will also taste great on an Asian inspired salad or as a dip for egg rolls or to glaze chicken with.

I personally love it on a roasted beet salad RECIPE HERE.
