Ingredients

1 medium-sized orange (juice + zest needed)
2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey , or stevia to taste
1 clove garlic , minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Use a microplane, or grater, to zest the orange, grating only the orange rind and not the white pith, which can be bitter. Once the zest has been removed, slice the orange in half and juice it using a citrus press or reamer. You'll get 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice from a medium-sized orange.
Combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, apple cider vinegar, honey garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small glass jar with a lid. Whisk well until the honey dissolves. Alternatively, you can secure the lid and shake well.
Serve the dressing right away over your favorite salad greens. Leftover dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
