Pescatarian Orange-Garlic Vinaigrette
Bright, citrusy, and layered with warmth, this vinaigrette is the kind of dressing that makes you want to pour it on everything. Fresh orange juice and zest bring a natural sweetness, while apple cider vinegar and raw honey keep the balance perfectly tangy without tipping into sharp territory. A little grated ginger and ground turmeric add depth and a gorgeous golden hue that looks stunning drizzled over a salad or roasted vegetables. The garlic is finely minced so it blends seamlessly into the emulsion rather than overpowering the whole thing. Whisking the olive oil in slowly is the key move here — it brings everything together into a silky, cohesive dressing that clings beautifully to greens. Optional fresh thyme takes it from everyday to genuinely impressive with almost zero extra effort. Make a jar on Sunday and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.
