I added another clove of garlic, 1/4 cup of olive oil and another teaspoon of honey since it was too vinegary. Also more cilantro to taste and a tablespoon of grated mild onion. Put in a blender on high for around 30 seconds. It went perfectly with baby spinach , arugula, beets, feta cheese and candied pecans,,, so satisfying!
When I got out the ingredients to make it, i notice dhow much axid/citrus tere was compared to the small amout of oil. It was way too tart and too thin. I adjusted it with more oil and more honey untill I got it to taste reasonable, but by then I hada large volume of dressing!
The new household favorite!
Way toooo vinegry & tart!!! I eased up to 2 tbsp rice vinegar, added 4 tbsp olive oil, added pinch salt & pepper, much smoother orange flavour is so much nicer.
I just made this for a kale salad (I’m recreating a local BBQ place’s recipe,) and it is SO good! I added a bit of salt and 1/2 a teaspoon of jalapeno juice for a bit of added zing. I will definitely be making it again!
Too bitey; even with reducing rice vinegar and increasing honey an extra teaspoon. Not liked by 3/3 in my home.
It was delicious with my fennel, apple, rocket, cranberry & walnut salad!
I was hoping for something that would taste like a deli salad, but didn’t care for this.
To vinegary. I’ll try it again, but cut back on the vinegar, replacing it with more oj. also needs salt & pepper.
Very citrus-tangy. I added a little extra oil, was very liquidy. No cilantro. Added a dash of salt and pepper, blended in my NINJA for about 3 quickpulses. Amazing!!
This was a light and tasty change from my usual dijon vinagrette. I used 3 tbs rice wine vineagar and let the garlic sit in it a minute before adding the other ingredients. Used a good Maille dijon and threw in an extra tablespoon of evoo. I didn’t have cilantro but bet that would be even better. Ate it immediately over black beans & romaine, but think this will be even tastier tomorrow when the flavors meld.
This was good but thin. It doesn’t use much oil so I expected this and wasn’t sure how much the dijon and honey would thicken it. Some thought it was too vinegary but I actually thought it was quite “orange-y” instead. I substituted white wine vinegar for the rice vinegar though and didn’t have cilantro. I added a couple of dashes of ground coriander to get that brightness that the cilantro adds but should have added more. All in all, this is easy and refreshing. I reduced it to 1/6 of the recipe and it made 1/4 cup.
OMG!!!! Way to much vingar! It should be more like 1 or 2 tablespoons.
Loved it! Delicious, light, and low calorie. Like other people have said, I thought it was a bit too vinegar-y…I ended up tinkering a bit and was happy with it when I added 1/2 a cup of rice wine vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp honey and an extra dash of orange juice.
Worst ever!!!!!! Too acidic, no balance. Had to add more honey, salt and orange peel to even taste the orange. I hesitated before making…should have followed my gut! Lola
Unfortunately I didn’t have any fresh cilantro, orange juice or dijon mustard, I ended up adding more honey and a clear fruit punch and squeezed a few fresh oranges, other than that it was very good, and had rave reviews from the in-laws. Next time I will try it with the missing ingredients.
Delicious! I left out the honey and it was plenty sweet for me, but probably extra good with it in there:). I served over mixed greens with avocado and feta. So tasty!
I was not crazy about this as a salad dressing. My family, however, liked it. I will try it again as a marinade.
Really good recipe, however wayy too vinegary for me. I choked on it and had to change the honey addition from 1 teas to about 2 Tbl. Go by taste. No cilantro used-don’t like it. If sufficiently sweetened, it’s a great recipe.
very tasty and fresh
Delicious, I used powdered mustard in a pinch and it was yummy. I added some sweet basil. Over spinach with red, orange, and yellow peppers with cucumber and scallions.
