A blast of flavors with a citrus essence – a flavorful vinaigrette! Lighter in calories; with less oil. So many uses… I love it drizzled over my Spa Salad with Spicy Grilled Citrus Shrimp & Rice Noodles.

High on flavor…lower in calories!
A very ZESTY Vinaigrette that can add flavor to so many composed salads, and – stands up great in a noodle salad with its vibrant citrusy flavor.

I add it to just cooked rice noodles and refrigerate until cold.
For delicious SPA Salad:
Add the rice noodles with Karen’s Spa Asian Orange-Sesame Vinaigrette – add Roasted & Raw Veggies and my Spicy Citrus Chili Shrimp on top.

So easy to prepare ~ Whisk the first 9 ingredients together, drizzle in both oils – whisking, add sesame seeds to combine.

Most of the work is mincing the aromatics – then you’re almost done!

Ingredients for the Zesty Vinaigrette:

• Soy Sauce (gluten free or lower sodium)
• Rice Vinegar
• Fresh Orange Juice (I squeeze clementines… a deep orange color and vibrant flavor)
• Minced Orange Rind
• Minced Garlic
• Finely Grated Ginger
• Minced Scallions (I use light greens)
• Grainy Mustard
• Raw Honey
• Roasted Sesame Oil
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or neutral oil)
• Toasted Sesame Seeds

Enjoy this fabulous Vinaigrette,
Tell me what you think!
