Fresh Citrus Vinaigrette

This light and tangy citrus vinaigrette adds the perfect brightness to any salad. With fresh-squeezed juice and just a touch of sweetness, it’s made to nourish your gut and balance your blood sugar—without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients:

• 6 Tbsp fresh-squeezed orange juice
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp raw honey (or pure maple syrup)
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, and honey.
2. Stir in Dijon mustard until well combined.
3. Slowly add olive oil while whisking to emulsify.
4. Store in the fridge in a covered container. If it thickens, allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes:

1. This vinaigrette pairs beautifully with spinach, berries, and grilled chicken.
2. To make vegan, use maple syrup in place of honey.
