Gelatin Free Orange-Garlic Vinaigrette
Bright citrus, warm garlic, and a subtle kick of fresh ginger come together in this vibrant vinaigrette that makes even the simplest salad feel special. The fresh orange juice and zest give it a sunny, slightly sweet backbone, while apple cider vinegar keeps things lively and balanced. A touch of raw honey smooths out the acidity, and ground turmeric adds a gorgeous golden hue along with a gentle earthiness you'll notice on the finish. Many store-bought dressings sneak in unexpected additives, so making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in the bottle. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to greens rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Optional fresh thyme takes it in a more herbaceous direction if you're feeling fancy. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can shake it up and drizzle it over everything from roasted vegetables to grain bowls all week long.
