Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup blood orange juice I squeeze my own, yet available bottled
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh shallots minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon fresh garlic peeled; minced or finely grated
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon raw honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 6 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Add first 8 ingredients to a 1 1/2 cup bowl and combine well with a wire whisk.
    Measure the olive oil. Add in a SLOW stream whisking until emulsified.

Hints:

  • When squeezing the orange juice - its is nice to include a little fine pulp in the vinaigrette.
    Taste the vinaigrette for salt & sweetness. Easily doubled!
