Instructions
-
Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey until the honey is fully dissolved and incorporated into the lime juice.
-
Add Oils and Juices: Gradually add the walnut oil, whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture. Then, incorporate the orange juice and pineapple juice, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Continue to whisk the vinaigrette until it reaches a smooth and cohesive texture. The walnut oil will provide a rich, nutty flavor, while the orange and pineapple juices offer a vibrant, fruity sweetness.
-
Rest for Flavor Development: Allow the vinaigrette to sit for at least 15 minutes. This resting period lets the flavors meld together, resulting in a more harmonious and robust dressing.
-
Final Whisk: Before serving, give the vinaigrette a final whisk to recombine any ingredients that may have separated.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle over your favorite salads or use as a marinade for vegetables and meats. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
