Use this recipe on salads made with bitter greens or spinach, orange segments and nuts. To make the vanilla sugar, insert your used/scraped, washed and dried vanilla beans into a canister of sugar. You can substitute local citrus blossom honey for the vanilla sugar (especially good on fruit salad).
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. orange zest
Cooking
Combine white vinegar, orange juice, vanilla sugar, vanilla extract and orange zest in a bowl. Whisk together until thoroughly mixed.
This vinaigrette should be used the same day; otherwise the orange zest will make it turn bitter.
