"A couple from France gave us this recipe years ago when they were guests in our home," relates Jackie Heyer of Cushing, Iowa. "The dressing is the real French dressing-made with oil, vinegar, lemon juice and herbs-not the creamy tomato-based type we're accustomed to. The thyme flavor is wonderful on any combination of greens and vegetables," she adds.

Tips:

  • Use fresh citrus fruits for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus, you can use bottled citrus juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Choose a good quality olive oil. A fruity, extra virgin olive oil will give the vinaigrette the best flavor.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the vinaigrette for extra flavor. Thyme, rosemary, and basil are all good choices.
  • Taste the vinaigrette before you use it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more citrus juice, olive oil, or herbs.
  • Store the vinaigrette in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

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