The combination of sweet onion and tart citrus creates a unique balance that will bring out the flavor in any salad. This dressing is perfect for adding a refreshing twist to the mundane. All you need is a few simple ingredients and you’ll be ready to start dressing up your salads!

To make this Sweet Onion and Citrus Dressing, begin by combining the juice of one orange, two tablespoons of white wine vinegar, and one tablespoon of honey in a bowl. Once these ingredients are combined, slowly whisk in a fourth cup of extra virgin olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Then, add the juice of one lime and a quarter cup of minced sweet onion to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Lastly, whisk everything together until all ingredients are blended.
