Orange-Pecan Dressing

Orange-Pecan Dressing recipe image
This Orange-Pecan Dressing is a bright, emulsified vinaigrette that brings a burst of citrus flavor to any green salad or roasted vegetable dish. The combination of fresh orange juice and vegetable oil creates a smooth base, while chopped pecans add a delightful crunch and earthy depth. A touch of honey or sugar balances the acidity, and prepared mustard not only adds a subtle tang but also helps bind the ingredients together into a cohesive sauce. Celery salt provides a savory undertone that complements the sweet and sour profile. Perfect for autumn harvest salads, this dressing is vegan-friendly and incredibly quick to prepare. Simply shake it up in a jar and drizzle over crisp lettuce, kale, or even use it as a marinade for tofu or chicken. It&# 226;ÂÂs a simple yet sophisticated way to elevate your everyday meals with homemade flavor.

Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as the oil and juice may separate.

Substitutions: For a vegan option, ensure you use sugar instead of honey. You can also substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a fruitier flavor, though it may solidify in the fridge.

Tip: For a smoother texture, blend the dressing in a blender or food processor instead of shaking.

Yield: Makes approximately 1 cup of dressing.
