Yield Makes about 3/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 large shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
6 tablespoons grapeseed oil or olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk fresh orange juice, shallot, fresh lemon juice, grated orange peel and cumin in small bowl to blend. Add oil and whisk until well blended. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy citrus fruits: The quality of your vinaigrette will depend on the quality of your citrus fruits. Use ripe, juicy oranges, lemons, and grapefruits for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, and mint, can add a burst of flavor to your vinaigrette. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they can be more concentrated.
  • Adjust the acidity to your taste: The amount of citrus juice you add to your vinaigrette will determine how acidic it is. Start with a small amount of juice and taste the vinaigrette before adding more. You can always add more juice, but you can't take it out.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The type of olive oil you use will also affect the flavor of your vinaigrette. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
  • Emulsify the vinaigrette: To make a smooth and creamy vinaigrette, you need to emulsify it. This means whisking the oil and vinegar together until they are well combined. You can also use a blender or food processor to emulsify the vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

A citrus-cumin vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, from salads to grilled meats and fish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful vinaigrette that will elevate any dish.
