Citrus Salad Dressing

Use this recipe to create a sweet and tangy citrus-based vinaigrette dressing. This citrus salad dressing is light and refreshing and not too heavy. It tastes great tossed into a bowl full of mixed salad greens. It can also be used as a marinade for chicken or fish, and tastes fantastic drizzled on top of grilled vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini or broccoli.

Difficulty: Easy

    Use the dressing immediately to dress a bowl full of mixed salad greens.

  5. Step 5

    If the dressing isn't being used immediately, place it in a small storage container with a tight-fitting lid. The salad dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips & Warnings
  • A variation of this dressing can be made by substituting orange juice for the grapefruit juice, and using lime juice instead of the lemon juice.
  • If you find the taste of olive oil to be too strong, you can use a light vegetable oil such as canola instead.
