Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette with Sesame
At home, we eat a lot of salad 🥗. I find it’s very important to eat a little every day. It helps to keep our metabolism going. I have many salad recipes that we enjoy but once in a while, it’s perfectly fine to have one with just lettuce and fresh cut veggies.
Of course, from there I have a lot of vinaigrette and dressing recipes to choose from such as Zippy Ranch Dressing, Raspberry Vinaigrette, Blue Cheese Dressing, Italian Vinaigrette, Russian Dressing, Roasted Red Pepper Parmesan Vinaigrette, Thousand Island Dressing, Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing, and many more. On rare occasions though, like anybody else, I buy 🛒 a bottle at my supermarket because I feel lazy… Yes, it happens to me as well!
There was one that I really enjoyed but all of a sudden, I couldn’t find it anymore. I looked at other grocery stores and even looked it up on the internet 💻 on the manufacturer’s site. Alas, it was discontinued… gone! Sound familiar?
I’m glad the company stopped producing it because it forced me to make a better version at home 🏡. Here’s my Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette! Oh my! This recipe is much tastier than the one I used to buy. Although it was good, it wasn’t as flavorful as my homemade version.
I use an ingredient that makes this vinaigrette a superstar… Orange Curd! The condensed flavor from the curd gives the vinaigrette that delicious freshness from the oranges 🍊. With the other added ingredients, this Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
Just like the original, there’s the subtle taste of sesame that completes this simple, yet delicious condiment. There’s also a slight zip to it, not enough to make it “spicy” but sufficient to make it even more appealing 🤩!
If you are like me and enjoyed this vinaigrette in the past but can’t find it anymore, don’t get discouraged, make 👩🍳👨🍳 this Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette! It’s quick and easy with an incredible taste so give it a try!
Bon Appétit!🍽
