step 1
In a small bowl combine the zest of the Orange (1), Garlic (2 cloves), Dijon Mustard (1 Tbsp), Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1/2 cup), Orange Juice (4 Tbsp), White Wine Vinegar (1 Tbsp), Honey (1 Tbsp), Kosher Salt (as needed), and Ground Black Pepper (as needed). Whisk until emulsified and set aside. (This makes more dressing than you’ll need for this salad. Save any extra for other salads.)
