Citrus-Basil Vinaigrette image

This dressing is lovely yellow color, and we use it on a mixed green salad (mixed Romaine and European greens), tossed with small broccoli and cauliflower florets, raisins or sweetened dried cranberries, and shredded Cheddar or crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. The sweet-tart zestiness of the dressing perks up the salad! The yield depends on how much salad dressing you prefer. For us, this recipe makes enough dressing for about 4 large salads.

Categories     Citrus     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium     Salad Dressing     Winter     Healthy     Low Cholesterol     Vegan     Lemon Juice     Orange Juice     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small shallot, finely chopped
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
N/A freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients in a small jar; season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. Shake to blend. DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Shake before using.

Tips:

  • Choose the right citrus fruit: Different citrus fruits will give your vinaigrette different flavors. Lemons and limes are classic choices, but you can also try oranges, grapefruits, or even mandarins.
  • Use fresh citrus juice: Fresh citrus juice will give your vinaigrette the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus juice on hand, you can use bottled juice, but be sure to choose a brand that doesn't contain any added sugar or preservatives.
  • Balance the acidity of the citrus juice: The acidity of the citrus juice can be harsh, so it's important to balance it out with other ingredients. A little bit of honey, maple syrup, or sugar can help to sweeten the vinaigrette, while a pinch of salt can help to round out the flavor.
  • Emulsify the vinaigrette: To make a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, it's important to emulsify it. This means whisking the ingredients together until they are well combined and the oil and vinegar are suspended in the liquid.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest: After you've made the vinaigrette, let it rest for a few minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

Citrus reduction vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and proteins. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing dressing, give citrus reduction vinaigrette a try.
