JASMINE RICE MIXED GREENS WITH ORANGE CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE (Adapted from cafesucrefarine)

This dressing is OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD!!!!!  It’s such a great combination of flavors: ginger, sweetness from the OJ and honey and tanginess from the shallots and balsamic vinegar and mustard.  It’s just so fabulous that all you need are some nice lettuce greens and you’ve got yourself a really fabulous salad!

¼ cup sunflower oil
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
zest of 1 medium navel orange
¼ cup fresh orange juice
3 TBSP white balsamic vinegar
2 TBSP honey
1 TBSP finely chopped shallots
1 tsp grainy mustard
½ tsp fresh ginger
½ tsp kosher salt
⅛ tsp black pepper
3 TBSP finely chopped fresh cilantro (or basil)
Mixed Greens for serving

Combine all ingredients except cilantro (or basil) in a small bowl and whisk together.

Then, pour all into a medium size jar with a tight-fitting lid, and add the cilantro. Cover and shake well to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.  This dressing needs a bit of time for the flavors to blend, so it’s best to make at least a day ahead.

Shake well again before serving over mixed greens.
