CREAMY ORANGE VINAIGRETTE



Creamy Orange Vinaigrette image

Use this recipe when making our Orange and Jicama Salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 navel orange
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons orange-flower honey or regular honey
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
Coarse salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Toast cumin in a dry small skillet over high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Finely grind with a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder.
  • Zest orange; set zest aside. Cut pith from orange. Working over a bowl to catch juices, cut orange segments from membrane, letting them fall into bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from membrane into bowl. Remove segments, and coarsely chop; return to bowl.
  • Whisk together mustard, honey, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and cumin. Pour in oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in orange flesh, juice, zest, and the cream; whisk until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Oranges: The fresher the oranges, the better the dressing will taste. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a bright, vibrant color.
  • Choose a Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this dressing, as it has a rich, fruity flavor. However, you can use a lighter olive oil if you prefer.
  • Adjust the Acidity: If you find the dressing to be too acidic, you can add a little bit of honey or maple syrup to balance out the flavor.
  • Experiment with Different Herbs and Spices: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the dressing to create a unique flavor profile. Some good options include basil, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, garlic, and shallots.
  • Use the Dressing Immediately or Store It Properly: The dressing is best when used immediately, but you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake the dressing well before using.

Conclusion:

Orange vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, grilled meats, and fish. It is a healthy and delicious way to add flavor to your meals. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious orange vinaigrette dressing at home. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and vinegars to create a dressing that suits your taste.
