Three-Citrus Dressing
A bright orange, lemon and lime dressing emulsified with vegetable oil and a restrained touch of sugar.
01 — THE STORY
Behind the plate
This dressing uses equal quantities of three citrus juices, giving sweetness from orange, sharpness from lemon and a floral edge from lime. It is especially useful when a salad needs freshness without vinegar.
The oil is added slowly while the Thermomix runs, forming a light temporary emulsion. The linked quinoa salad uses this page directly instead of repeating the dressing formula.
03 — THE METHOD
Cook step by step
- 01
Place the orange, lemon and lime juices in the Thermomix with the sugar, salt and pepper.
- 02
Mix at speed 4 until the sugar and salt have dissolved completely.
- 03
Keep the machine running and pour in the vegetable oil in a very slow, steady stream.
- 04
Continue blending only until the dressing is evenly combined and lightly emulsified.
- 05
Taste and adjust the salt, pepper or sugar, then transfer to a clean bottle, label and refrigerate. Shake before use.
04 — FROM THE PASS
Chef's notes
- Fresh citrus varies in sweetness and acidity, so the final balance must always be tasted.
- Pour the oil slowly; adding it all at once produces a loose, uneven dressing.
- This is a naturally temporary emulsion and may separate during storage. Shake thoroughly before every service.
