Tips:

  • For a sweeter vinaigrette, use Valencia oranges. For a tarter vinaigrette, use Seville oranges.
  • Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the vinaigrette.
  • If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin. Just be sure to use half the amount, as ground cumin is more concentrated.
  • This vinaigrette is best served fresh, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Orange cumin vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on salads, grilled vegetables, or even chicken or fish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new vinaigrette, give this one a try!
