Orange-Lime Dressing
A bright, citrus-forward vinaigrette
Why This Recipe Works
Reducing the orange juice concentrates its sweetness and body, creating a syrupy base that prevents the dressing from becoming thin. Use a nonreactive stainless steel pan to keep the citrus flavors clean and bright.
Instructions
Simmer the orange juice in a small nonreactive saucepan over medium heat until it has reduced by about two-thirds and has slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the reduction to a medium bowl and refrigerate until completely cool, about 15 minutes.
Whisk in the lime juice, olive oil, honey, shallot, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
Serve over fresh greens for a bright, citrusy finish.
