Hazelnut Free Orange-Garlic Vinaigrette

Bright, citrusy, and just a little punchy from garlic and ginger, this vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to put a salad on the table every single night. Fresh orange juice and zest give it a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tang of apple cider vinegar, while a touch of raw honey and ground turmeric round everything out into something genuinely special. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts — shared facilities, ambiguous "natural flavors," and ingredient lists that seem to change every few months. Making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going in the bottle, and this one comes together in about a minute of whisking. The slow drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil emulsifies the whole thing into a lightly thickened, glossy dressing that clings to greens instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. A handful of fresh thyme stirred in at the end adds an herby, almost floral note if you have it on hand. It keeps in the fridge for up to five days, so you can make a jar on Sunday and have effortless, vibrant salads all week long.
