Instructions

In a medium bowl or mason jar, combine the zest and juice of 1 orange, 1 grapefruit, 1 lemon, and 1 lime.

Add ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons honey, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar to the bowl or jar. Whisk or shake vigorously until well combined. If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend with an immersion blender.

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness or extra citrus juice for tang.

Store in a mason jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Shake well before using.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Citrus Juice Precision 🍊
Roll citrus fruits on the counter before juicing to break down internal membranes and maximize juice extraction.
Emulsion Mastery 🌪️
Slowly drizzle olive oil while whisking vigorously to create a stable, smooth emulsion that won't separate.
Zest Flavor Boost 🍋
Before juicing, grate the citrus zest into the dressing for an intense, concentrated citrus flavor profile.
Balanced Sweetness Trick 🍯
Use a 3:1 ratio of oil to acid, adjusting honey to balance the tartness and create a perfectly harmonized dressing.
Storage Pro Tip 🧊
Store the dressing in an airtight glass jar and shake well before each use; it will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.
