Orange Citrus Vinaigrette recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

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.

    That's so funny because I just made an orange vinaigrette last night! I wanted to make it with poppy seeds, but I was all out. The lemon really helps, otherwise I found it too sweet. I like that you added shallots to yours. Happy Fourth!

    I would love this but for some reason, Alexis and Trevor both dislike orange in food flavor profiles. It drives me nuts because I love it. I made a citrus on the other day using hot bacon fat as half of the oil component and lemon juice as the acid. I had agave nectar, dijon mustard, and herbs. Sounds weird but it really worked.

    I've never seen the golden balsamic vinegar. Now I'm on a new quest. Love your recipe

    Happy 4th..

      This works fine with traditional balsamic vinegar. The dressing will simply be a darker color and the balsamic flavor is slightly stronger.

    I’ve made a couple things on your site now (really wonderful). This was delicious! So easy to put together and, like you said, just the right amount of oil. I used honey in place of sugar, and unseasoned rice vinegar.5 stars
