I won’t even buy dressing in a bottle anymore.  For one, they put a lot of preservatives and crap in it…2, I don’t really like the taste anyway.  Making your own is the way to go, and it’s not that difficult!  I prefer vinaigrette anyway, so they are often pretty easy to throw together.  This one is great for a nice summer salad to take to a BBQ.

Ingredients

Servings 6-8

Units US

• 2 medium oranges
• 1 medium lemon
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Sea salt to taste

1. Click the photo below to learn how to cut that lemon the right way (yes, I said RIGHT way) and squeeze the juice into a small bowl or ramekin.

2. Cut the oranges in half and use a citrus juicer over the bowl/ramekin.  My hand held one works just fine.

3. One of my favorite kitchen tools is the grater plate.  It turns garlic into a paste.  More details about it here and where you can buy it: Kitchen Must-Have: Grater Plate.  Add it into the juice mixture.

4. Add olive oil.

5. Add salt to taste.
