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).
 
 
RECIPE #1: ORANGE JUICE VINAIGRETTE

  • 6 tablespoons California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil (or other)

    Preparation

    1. COMBINE in a blender the orange juice, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper.

    2. PULSE the blender to dissolve the salt in juice and vinegar.

    3. ADD the olive oil and pulse briefly to incorporate.
