Due to all of the fresh lettuce that my neighbor has been providing us, we have been eating lots of salads lately. I have gotten into the habit of making up a batch of dressing and using it little by little all week long. I tried this Orange Dressing for the first time a couple of weeks ago. And, it got two thumbs up with everyone at my house.
Although we tried the dressing on several different salad combinations, we definitely liked it best on a main dish salad with lettuce, chicken, sliced almonds, green onions, and mandarin oranges. I think that it would also be good on a pasta salad.
Orange Dressing
¼ cup orange juice
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard (Dijon, Spicy Brown, etc.)
2 tsp. honey
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
Measure all ingredients into a jar and cover tightly. Shake to combine. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

This sounds very good and I will be trying it this weekend with a pasta salad. but the container you have is very interesting, can you tell me where you got it? Thanks, georgi
ReplyDeleteThat is a traditional canning jar with a reCAP lid. I purchased a set of these lids from Amazon. You can read more about how I learned about these lids here:
