Gather all of your ingredients onto your countertop. Having everything within arm’s reach makes the process easier. It’s sort of like assembling your team before a big game.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, raw honey, and minced garlic. Whisk these together until you see a smooth mixture. This base is crucial for the flavor, so don’t rush.

Next, pour in the fresh orange juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk again. You’ll notice the color brighten up. Don’t you just love how fresh juices bring a pop of color to the party?

Now, while whisking continuously, gradually drizzle in extra virgin olive oil. This step is crucial as it helps to emulsify the dressing, blending all those lovely flavors together.

Add the apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Taste and adjust if necessary. You might want a bit more salt or a dash of sweetness. Go with your instincts; it’s your vinaigrette!

Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and glassy. Imagine it’s like achieving the perfect creaminess on a pasta dish; the goal is to have everything blend in beautifully.

Transfer the dressing into a jar or an airtight container. Store in the fridge for about 30 minutes before using. This allows the flavors to meld together, kind of like a group of friends bonding over good food.
