Citrus Dressing for Salads

Whenever I make a new salad recipe, I love to experiment with new dressings. Since it is summertime, I often add fresh fruits and vegetables together for a summery salad. So, what’s a great summer salad dressing? Citrus dressing for salads is fresh with a blend of fresh juice and a few other magic ingredients. Of course, my citrus dressing recipe is oil-free and delicious.

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS FOR CITRUS SALAD DRESSING FOR SALADS

Since oranges and lemons are beautiful and vibrant this time of year, I chose to use a combination of both. With that being said, fresh juice is always better than bottles of juice. So, I juice my own lemons and oranges. In a pinch, bottled juice works, but fresh juice is simply fresh, without any added sugars or preservatives. 

Again, simple, clean ingredients are always the goal when making a great dressing. But, taste, texture, and flavor is just as important. I love dressing, and citrus dressing for salads is one of my favorites. In fact, it’s so good I could drink it. So, let’s make a simple dressing you will love for your next summer salad recipe. 

• Oranges, fresh squeezed
• Lemon, fresh squeezed
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Water
• Whole-grain mustard
• Maple syrup

With this dressing, however, you don’t need a blender or anything other than a whisk or a spoon. The ingredients, for instance, are stirred together and refrigerated until ready for use. That’s it. 

CITRUS DRESSING FOR SALADS IS GREAT FOR A VARIETY OF RECIPES

Although I made this dressing for a Fennel Salad with Oranges, any citrus dressing goes well with any salad, but those with fruit bring out the WOW in salads. 

• Spinach Strawberry Salad
• Grape Salad
