Citrus Vinaigrette

Citrus Vinaigrette with lemons, garlic and orange on a wooden board

This healthy and tangy Citrus Vinaigrette is a delicious fresh tasting vinaigrette which you can use over any greens. I like to make it in a cruet so it’s easier to shake.  It keeps for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.  You can make it a creamy dressing by adding  a few tablespoons of non-fat Greek Yogurt.  It goes perfectly with my Chicken and Roasted Beet Salad. Just add a few tablespoons and what a delicious meal!

This is a slightly tangy and fresh tasting citrus vinaigrette. It's great over my Chicken and Roasted Beet Salad as well as over any greens. If you like it more creamy, add the yogurt, but it's great without too!
