Instructions
- If using a fresh orange, grate the zest with the medium to fine holes on a grater. Cut the orange in half and juice, using a hand juicer or simply squeezing by hand.* Pour 1/2 cup juice into blender.

- Add all remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Adjust seasonings, to taste.
Recipe Notes
*Technique: How to Juice Lemons and Limes by Hand – Hold one half of a lemon in your hand. Squeeze it into the other hand, which is cupped with fingers slightly apart. The juice will run through your fingers, while you catch the seeds. To get a little more out of the lemon, poke the inside with a fork and twist first, then squeeze.
SERVING SUGGESTION:
- Serve on Kale Salad, any green salad, a wedge of cabbage, or grilled salmon.

This dressing is INCREDIBLE!! Not only is it simple to make & inexpensive… it is also absolutely DELISH!! It’s creamy, tart, & sweet in all the right ways. I will definitely be making this one again!
We like to add this dressing to just about any salad. Try it on a green salad with Asian pears or crisp apples, or even a simple wedge of cabbage. Glad you liked it too.
