Orange or Tangerine or Clementine Citronette Recipe- Citrus Salad Dressing, Sugar Free

On Wednesday, I went to the farmer’s market, and got myself a bunch of produce for very little money from the “reduced rack store”. As I explained in my previous post on that store, I tell him how much money I’m willing to spend, and he fills bags for me, depending on what he wants to get rid of.
He gave no tomatoes or cucumbers- the base of many of my salads, however he gave a lot of citrus fruit, and I bought pomegranates from another store that sells cheap past prime produce…
Though I didn’t have the typical “salad veggies”, I decided that I’d be making salad anyhow, using what I had. I used pigweed, also known as goosefoot, a wild green, for the base of my salad instead of lettuce or spinach, and topped it with clementines and grapefruits and pomegranate seeds. I knew this type of salad would be best with something citrusy, and since I had many clementines, decided to make a celementine based citronette- like a vinaigrette, only made with citrus fruit instead of vinegar.
It came out amazingly well. The dressing is sweet and sour and flavorful- perfect for a leafy, fruity salad like this!
You can make this dressing with tangerine or orange juice instead of clementine juice if that’s cheaper/ more easily available to you- just note that clementines are a bit sweeter than some oranges and/or tangerines, so taste your dressing- you might want to add a drop of a healthy (or cheap) sweetener to it, which was totally unnecessary when I made this with clementines.
(If you don’t add any sweetener, and use a GAPS legal mustard, this recipe is GAPS legal.)
