Ingredients Used in making Homemade Vegan Salad Dressing – Orange Vinaigrette –

Orange juice and Orange zest
From so many varieties of oranges we have picked from the farm, I have used Juice oranges Juice to make this homemade salad dressing.

Zest Tip
First zest the orange for zest and then take out the juice.

Vinegar
I love balsamic vinegar in my salad dressings. Balsamic Vinegar is bold in flavor and lends a wonderful tart+sweet flavor to the dressing. But you can use apple cider or rice vinegar.
If you don’t have any kind of vinegar on hand, use lemon juice.

Oil
We love Extra virgin olive oil in our orange dressing. You can always choose light olive oil or something like grapeseed oil, or you can even swap in a touch of nut oil like hazelnut oil or walnut oil, to give Asian vibe, you may use sesame oil too.
But use the best quality oil. It tastes the best.

Seasoning
On top of salt and pepper, I have also used grated garlic and Grated shallots.

Sweetener
As a sweetener, I have added agave. But you can use Honey (If not making it vegan) too.

Vegan Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise adds flavor and acts as an emulsifier. You can also use Vegan Mustard sauce instead of Mayo.
That’s all we need to make this refreshing citrus dressing – Orange Vinaigrette. Once you gather all the ingredients, next comes the mixing part.
Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until all of the ingredients come together. That’s it! You can also shake dressing in a mason jar.
Once it’s mixed, just taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if you like. For the more accurate idea, dip a cucumber or any salad leaf into the dressing, shake off the excess and try.
