Orange Citrus Vinaigrette

A few weeks ago, I asked on Facebook what kinds of recipes you would like to see. Several people requested a citrus vinaigrette; specifically, an orange one. I'm the first to admit that I have a whole lot of salad dressing recipes. Once I discovered how easy it is to make my own, I haven't purchased a store-bought dressing in years now. I've been hooked on this White Balsamic for a while now and between that and our Homemade Ranch, I haven't made many others over the past few months.

I'm thanking the facebook crowd today for the inspiration, because I love this new dressing! Slightly sweet from the orange and still tangy from the vinegar and lemon, this dressing is a keeper. I'll be posting a fun new summer salad to go with it tomorrow.
