I used beets, purple potatoes and butternut squash, but this would be great with sweet potatoes or yams, regular potatoes, gold beets, and another type of squash.

I put the beets in a separate pan so the color wouldn't bleed into the other veggies.

To make matters even better, this little recipe I cooked up yesterday turned out terrifically delicious and made a satisfying lunch. They’ll keep fresher, longer.Really, isn't nature amazing? Look at this palate of vibrant color. If you do buy a huge jug of it, it’s worthwhile to decant it into smaller bottles and keep them tightly closed in a cool place.

I do watch for sales and sometimes buy at Aldi but picked it up last time at Costco for a great price. Look for a cold-pressed oil, and look for pure olive oil or you might be paying more for what is just a mix of olive oil and some type of vegetable oil. Olive oil is my choice of oil even though it’s more expensive than other oils. I try, too, to stock up on vinegar for the year prior to Easter when it’s always on sale…and not just the jugs like you’d expect (Easter Egg Dying) but the specialty vinegar is usually marked down, too. I always compare sales prices when I buy fruit, especially if I’m looking at a larger bag like we see so often in late winter to early spring. Then dressings like this are even quicker to make. I make it a habit to zest a lot of my citrus and either dry it to have it on hand for dressings or toss it in a small Ziploc in the freezer. Bonus for this dressing, though, for being the perfect way to use up the last of that bag of oranges languishing in the fridge and maybe not quite at their peak any longer. If the oranges are on the drier side, you may need more than one. The rest of the ingredients are just pennies. Honey Citrus Vinaigrette Saving Money on Honey Citrus Vinaigrette:Īs for the pricing, the real cost is the oranges and the oil. Try Honey Citrus Vinaigrette as a dressing for a fruit salad (add more honey or leave out the garlic, if you want and def use the poppyseeds) or toss it over simple orange supreme or orange slices. It’s also strewn with thinly sliced red onion. I just couldn’t help myself at the time! The Beet Goes On is butter or bibb lettuce, pickled or roasted beets, and goat cheese. Scatter thinly sliced red onion over the top and you’ll have a gorgeous presentation.Īnother favorite salad that I use Honey Citrus Vinaigrette on is my “ Beet Goes On” Salad. I use this dressing a lot and really love it on my Orange, Avocado, and Red Onion Salad which is just oranges or Mandarin oranges, slices of avocado, and red onion layered on a bed of lettuce. I’d advise doubling or tripling this dressing because you’ll probably want to keep it on hand. I love Honey Citrus Vinaigrette for a winter salad, and in the late spring when everything is brown and muddy and dreary, this bright little dressing makes the day seem better. Try making this with rice vinegar and sesame seeds if you want a little Asian flair (leave out the poppyseeds) and chives or thinly sliced green onion are good in this dressing, too. If you catch blood oranges in the store, they’re marvelous in this dressing. I usually make it with oranges but if you want to, go wild and try it with lime (and maybe a little cumin) or lemon and keep it in mind next time you have one of those bags or boxes or tangerines or tangelos or cuties. About Honey Citrus Vinaigrette:Īs the name implies, this dressing is made with Honey and Citrus, and a little Vinegar. It’s simple, too, and you may even have everything on hand that’s needed for Honey Citrus Vinaigrette. It’s fresh, it’s bright and you’ll probably just want to drink it, it’s that good. This little dressing is like a spring tonic.
