How to Make Blood Orange Almond Vinaigrette

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of fresh blood orange juice to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, until the juice reduces to 1/3 cup (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the reduced blood orange juice, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon finely minced shallot, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and the zest of 1 blood orange.
  4. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons almond oil while whisking constantly until the vinaigrette emulsifies and thickens.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This vinaigrette will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
