Whole30 Mandarin Ginger Vinaigrette

This Mandarin Ginger Vinaigrette is proof that eating clean doesn't mean eating boring. Made with our 100% Cold-Pressed Mandarin Orange Juice, real ginger, and a good Dijon, it's bright, a little sharp, and completely Whole30 compliant. Toss it with a simple green salad, drizzle it over roasted vegetables, or use it as a marinade for chicken or salmon.

Makes about 3/4 cup

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Twisted Alchemy 100% Cold-Pressed Mandarin Orange Juice
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard (check the label for a Whole30 compliant brand, no added sugar or wine)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Combine the Mandarin Orange juice, rice vinegar, ginger, and Dijon mustard in a small jar with a tight lid.
2. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Store in the refrigerator up to one week, shaking well before each use.
6. The Alchemist's Tip: The secret to a vinaigrette that doesn't separate the moment you look away is temperature. Pull the Mandarin juice and olive oil out of the fridge for about ten minutes before you shake, they'll emulsify smoother and hold together far longer once it's on the salad.
