ORANGE POPPY SEED SALAD DRESSING



ORANGE POPPY SEED SALAD DRESSING image

Categories     Fruit     Leafy Green     Side     No-Cook     Low Carb     Quick & Easy     Salad Dressing     Orange

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tsp finely grated orange peel
2 Tbsp orange juice
2 Tbsp Champagne vinegar
1 Tbsp finely chopped onion
Dash pepper
*2 Tbsp sugar
*2 Tbsp (heaping) orange marmalade
2 tsp triple sec or other orange liquer
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup salad oil or light olive oil
1 tsp poppy seed
*OR 3 Tbsp sugar, omit marmalade

Steps:

  • Whirl first 9 ingredients in a food processor. Add oil in slow stream and blend until thickened. Stir in poppy seed. Let stand 1/2 hour before serving or chill for a couple of days. Bring to room temp before using. *Note the possible replacement of orange marmalade with extra sugar if desired. Serve over leafy green salad and/or salad with fruit.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for the dressing. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Grate the orange zest: Grating the orange zest adds a lot of flavor to the dressing. Be sure to use a microplane or fine grater so that you don't get any of the white pith, which is bitter.
  • Use good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but you can also use a lighter olive oil if you prefer.
  • Add honey or maple syrup: Honey or maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to the dressing. You can also use agave nectar or another natural sweetener if you prefer.
  • Season to taste: Once you've made the dressing, be sure to taste it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or honey, depending on your personal preference.

Conclusion:

Orange poppy seed salad dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's made with fresh oranges, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and poppy seeds. The dressing is sweet, tangy, and slightly nutty, and it pairs well with both light and hearty salads. Whether you're looking for a dressing for a simple green salad or a more complex salad with roasted vegetables or grilled chicken, orange poppy seed dressing is a great choice.
