Tangy Mustard and Orange Dressing

This bright and tangy vinaigrette is the perfect way to dress up a salad. It's made with fresh orange juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey, and it's seasoned with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. The result is a dressing that's both flavorful and refreshing, and it's sure to become a favorite.

My relationship with salad dressing has always been complicated. On the one hand, I'm a huge fan of salad. I love the fresh, crisp flavors of vegetables, and I appreciate the way that a well-dressed salad can be a light and healthy meal. On the other hand, I've never been a huge fan of traditional salad dressings. I find most of them to be too heavy, too sweet, or too bland. The dressings that I do like are usually vinaigrettes, which are made with oil, vinegar, and herbs. But even vinaigrettes can be hit-or-miss. Some are too oily, while others are too vinegary. I've spent years trying to find the perfect vinaigrette, and I've finally found it. This tangy mustard and orange dressing is the perfect balance of flavors. It's bright and tangy, with just the right amount of sweetness. It's also incredibly versatile, and can be used on a variety of salads.
