Provided by goldenboyssister

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups lemon balm leaves
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon molasses (preferably dark)
1/4-1/2 cup good quality olive oil

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients (except the olive oil) in the blender. With the machine turned on, slowly pour the olive oil into the blender until desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Best when made at least 1 hour before serving, as flavors need time to meld.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter flavor, or blood oranges for a tarter flavor.
  • Use fresh capsicums: Different colors of capsicum will add different flavors and colors to your salad. Bell peppers can be used if capsicums are unavailable.
  • Make sure the lemon balm is fresh: Fresh lemon balm will give your dressing the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lemon balm, you can use dried lemon balm, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. You can always add more dressing if needed, but it's hard to take it away.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. The oranges and capsicums will start to wilt if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This orange and capsicum salad with lemon balm dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The oranges and capsicums provide a sweet and tangy flavor, while the lemon balm dressing adds a refreshing herbal note. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this orange and capsicum salad with lemon balm dressing a try.
