May 4th is National Orange Juice Day. Here’s something that’s both special and easy to make in less than 15 minutes.

California Olive Ranch sells delicious artisan olive oils, which we often use for vinaigrettes.

They developed this recipe for Orange Juice Vinaigrette, which we love on green salads, fruit salads and avocado salads (a recipe for the latter is below).
