Ingredients

• 2 whole (medium-sized) tangerines
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 small (minced) garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the tangerines. Using a zester or fine grater, remove about 1 teaspoon of zest from one of the tangerines and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel both tangerines and place the segments into a blender or food processor.

Step 3

Add the extra virgin olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, tangerine zest, salt, and black pepper to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and emulsified. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 teaspoons of water and blend again until you achieve the desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or honey, if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to an airtight container or jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve over fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or use as a dip. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
