Fresh Orange Vinaigrette




This is my go to summer dressing. Its refreshing , bright, and citrusy and goes so well on so many different salads. I love to use it on beets or berry salads, along with green salads.

Fresh Orange Vinaigrette

Ingredients
  • 1/3 c. Olive Oil
  • 1/3 c. Canola Oil
  • 1/3 c. White Sugar(or Stevia in the Raw)
  • 1/3 c. Orange Juice, fresh
  • 2 T. Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1/2 t. Sea Salt
  • 1/2 t. Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 2 T. Sweet Onion(just eyeball a slice)
  • 1 drop Lemon Oil
  • 5 drops Orange Oil
 Directions
  1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until everything is completely emulsified. Store in the refrigerator.
  2.                
           *Use 2 t. Of lemon juice instead if you don't have lemon oil.        
            *do try and find Orange Oil if you can, it adds so much flavor to the dressing that you can't get any other way! I use Wild Orange Oil by doTERRA        
            *If you will be storing the dressing in the refrigerator for more than a few days you will need to add another drop or two of orange oil the next time you serve it. Cold causes the oil's flavor to dissipate.

Toasted Sesame Ginger Dressing

I needed a break from my usualdressing. Something different. Something delicious. Like this Sesame Dressing. It's sweet, salty and full of flavor. And, suprisingly, is not oil based. It goes amazingly with my Chicken Wonton Spinach Salad. Try it and be happy.
 
Ingredients:
 
1/2 C. Soy Sauce
1 1/2 T. Sesame Oil
1 drop doTERRA Ginger Essential Oil
1 T. Peanut or Almond butter(natural is best)
1 C. Brown Sugar
2 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 T. Rice Vingerar
1 T. Toasted Sesame Seeds
3 T. Honey
 
Place all ingredients except for the sesame seeds in a blender. Blend on medium speed for about 20 seconds, or until emulsified. Pour in the sesame seeds and blend for 5 seconds, just to mix in the seeds. Store in the refrigerator.
