Cocoa Vinaigrette

from Cocoa Vinaigrette with Two Salads, the Week of February 14, 2016.
View the previous or next recipe for this meal.

This vinaigrette is slightly sweet, slightly bitter with notes of orange. While it almost looks like it, this dressing does not have any cloyingly sweet chocolate syrups in it. This is all-natural deliciousness, perfect for drizzling on many types of salads. The aphrodisiacs ginger & garlic are added to give this romantic dressing an extra boost of love.

Ingredients

  • 1 orange, zest & juice
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil, extra virgin

Preparation Instructions

Whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder. Whisk. As soon as it is fully incorporated, drizzle in the olive oil while whisking until it is thick, luscious and looks like chocolate syrup. Add salt and pepper. Taste.

Drizzle on a salad of your choice.
