Equipment
- 1 Mason jar
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp fresh orange juice
- 4-5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (go for a mild one)
- ½ Small shallot, very finely chopped
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp chopped herbs of choice (tarragon or parsley are great)
- ¼ tsp flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Tip the finely chopped shallot into a mason jar followed by the salt, orange juice, and white wine vinegar. Leave to sit for about 10-15 minutes. Doing this allows the juice and vinegar to soften the sharp flavor of the shallots.
- Once that's done, add in the Dijon mustard, chopped herbs, and olive oil. Put the lid tightly on the jar and shake vigorously for a minute or two to emulsify the dressing.
- Serve over your salad of choice or store in the fridge for up to one week.

Notes
Note: The classic vinaigrette recipe uses 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar. Given the milder taste of oranges to vinegar though, I've used 1 part of each for this recipe. This does produce a slightly thinner vinaigrette overall so if you'd like yours to be thicker, add one extra tablespoon of olive oil.
