Revitalize your fresh and crunchy greens as you coat them up with this Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe! A flavorful dressing that’s made from fruits and vegetables. Plus, you can whip this up year-round as citrus fruits are always available in the market.
Drizzle the vinaigrette generously for that cool and refreshing taste in summer. Or, enjoy it in winter to load up your vitamin C, a crucial nutrient to build up your body’s defense against seasonal flu and colds.
This Citrus Vinaigrette is tangy, which already has become a familiar taste as it’s commonly served in restaurants. However, we say that dressings are best made at home. It would taste yummier without those icky-preservatives, too much sugar, and salt. There’s really no tedious procedure or inaccessible ingredients to whip up a delightful dressing. Moreover, there are just countless flavors to create in your kitchen.
