Clementine Salad Dressing

Clementine salad dressing is an absolute breeze to put together. Capitalize on winter’s favorite citrus and make this dressing immediately!

I think it’s been about two years since I’ve bought any type of bottled salad dressing because I try to avoid all the bad stuff that is inside these products. These dressings are so sweet or very fatty.

I also think that eating a salad with a store-bought dressing kind of defeats the purpose of eating salad, right? I know that there are lots of good organic brands that sell actually excellent quality salad dressing, but I always think that whatever I make at home will be better than anything that I buy at the store.

So, a few days ago I made this clementine salad and I thought I could create a different salad dressing to go with it. This was the first time that I made a salad dressing where the real star of the dressing was citrus fruit juice and not olive oil or balsamic, although I added those ingredients as well. Why did I decide to make clementine juice the main ingredient of this dressing? Because they are very abundant at this time of the year, it is perfect to take advantage of this citrus fruit. If you wish, you could replace the clementine juice with orange or tangerine juice since it won’t make a huge difference.

I also find that clementines combine very well with greens (like this Clementine Arugula Salad Recipe), so you can use this salad dressing with arugula, kale, romaine, or spinach leaves, like in this spinach fruit salad. Or you can use this dressing in regular salads too.

I also added a little bit of honey for a touch of sweetness and chopped some fresh parsley. Why? Salad dressings don’t have to be boring! Do you agree with me? I always crave some salad, especially at lunchtime, but I also get tired of the same type of recipes again and again and again.

So, that’s why sometimes I have to be creative and add new ingredients. I invite you to try this recipe and experience different dressings for your salad. I bet you and your family will enjoy this clementine recipe so much.

And speaking of guilt-free recipes, you should definitely give this Ground Beef Zucchini Sweet Potato Skillet recipe a try for something more hearty or this Quick Easy Bean Salad.

Enjoy!
