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 freshly cut veggies.
Of course, from there I have a lot of vinaigrette and dressing recipes to choose from: 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 a 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, and make 👩🍳👨🍳 this Mandarin Orange Vinaigrette! It’s quick and easy with an incredible taste so give it a try!
Bon Appétit!🍽
