Orange Vinaigrette

I spent the weekend in New England with my favorite ladies and celebrated the upcoming nuptials of one of my dearest friends. It was a fabulous time, although, admittedly, we partied more like almost-30-year-olds than the spry 18-year-olds we were when we first met. Full recap to come later this week, but let’s first wrap up Challenge Oranges (now that our new banner is in place)!

We kicked off our February challenge with a simple salad of mixed greens, cranberries, and walnuts, topped with a sweet and tangy orange vinaigrette. We got our orange juice from a carton, but feel free to substitute fresh-squeezed.

Stay tuned for the remaining three courses recapped by Chef Nick, himself!

  1. I needed a quick dressing last night and this fit the bill perfectly. What I like best about this dressing is that there is no oil added! I didn’t have honey, so I omitted it, but it was still great.
