Orange Honey Vinaigrette

justcallmetoni's Note:

My adaptation of a light salad dressing from the cookbook, "The New American Diet." I particularly enjoy this on a salad with baby spinach, wild rice or both.

Very good! I had a couple of oranges and limes I wanted to get rid of so multiplied the recipe by six! The only changes I made were that I used limes and oranges. Nice flavors. I used the amount of Dijon called for and did not find it overpowering. I will use more oil as I found it a tad acidic but I'm sensitive to that. Thanks, justcallmetoni, I will definitely use this again.

I made this dressing for a luncheon I catered and the ladies loved it! They said the orange flavor was very subtle and gave the dressing a nice light spring flavor. I had a taste of it myself and also thought it was very good. This whips up in no time and tastes great. Thanks for posting!
