Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe from addapinch.com

I love making my own dressings. There’s just nothing like being in the mood for a certain flavor or texture of a dressing and being able to whip it up in just a few minutes for your family. It is also wonderful to know every single ingredient that goes into it and be able to customize it to my family’s tastes and needs.

Take this citrus vinaigrette for instance. I love to make it for salads and other dishes that need a little brightening or a “zing” as my Mama likes to call it.

It is absolutely delicious with avocado-based salads or even more earthy flavors like asparagus or beets and definitely helps to tone down the peppery flavor of arugula. It is also fabulous with grilled chicken, as well as fish and seafood.

In other words, I am drizzling this vinaigrette on everything lately! 

For my citrus vinaigrette, I add just a touch of honey to the dressing to sweeten it and balance the acidity of all the citrus and the vinegar. But, you can omit this if you prefer.

Here’s my Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe. I hope you love it!

    I wanted to make an avocado, Cilantro, lime vinaigrette dressing but couldn’t find one that looked appealing. I used yours and added cilantro and 1 small avocado. Blended it all in a Ninja blender. It was very good. Thanks

  2. Hi Robyn, looking forward to making this! 2 questions. What type of olive oil do you use, extra virgin? Light? And if I replace the granulated garlic with garlic powder is it safe to keep a larger batch in the fridge?
    Thanks!

    1. Londa, I use extra-virgin olive oil. The vinaigrette with the garlic powder should be good in the refrigerator about 3 to 4 days. Hope you enjoy.

    I made this last night. Skipped the honey because I didn’t have any on hand, and it was still delicious.

    1. Thanks, Stephanie. I’m glad you liked it. Next time, you really need to try it with the honey!

    I use 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp organic sugar and plenty of fresh ground pepper – all else the same.  It easily lasts for two weeks in the fridge, is delicious every time and is a staple in our home.
    Thank you so much for sharing this Robyn!

    1. I’m so excited you and your family enjoy it, Liz! Isn’t it so delicious for summer?! Thanks so much!
