Use this vinaigrette to dress any combination of mixed greens.

Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 16

Ingredients

  • 1 medium clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons fresh orange juice, plus more to taste
  • ¼ cup white-wine vinegar or red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Peel garlic clove and smash with the side of a chef’s knife. Using a fork, mash the garlic with salt in a small bowl to form a coarse paste. Whisk in oil. Add juice, vinegar and mustard; whisk until well blended. Taste and whisk in up to 4 tablespoons more juice to mellow the flavor; season with more salt, if desired.
