Orange Dijon Vinaigrette with Fresh Thyme
Description
Orange Dijon Vinaigrette with Fresh Thyme combines freshly squeezed orange juice with Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar for acidity, balanced by honey’s sweetness. Minced garlic and fresh chopped thyme add herbal and savory nuances, while kosher salt and black pepper season the dressing. Olive oil is whisked in to emulsify the mixture, resulting in a smooth, medium-bodied vinaigrette.
The citrus-forward dressing is versatile and works well drizzled over mixed salad greens, citrus slices, or even grilled vegetables. The fresh thyme contributes an earthy, slightly floral note complementary to the bright orange flavor. Because this vinaigrette is made fresh, it offers a clean, lively flavor without heavy fats or creams.
For best flavor, serve immediately or chill the vinaigrette briefly. It can be stored in the refrigerator but should be whisked again before use as the oil and juices may separate.
