Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a thicker dressing, add a bit more Dijon mustard or reduce the amount of orange juice.
• Avoid over-whisking to prevent the dressing from becoming too thick.
• Serve over a bed of mixed greens with sliced oranges for a refreshing salad.
Food Safety:
• Store dressing in the refrigerator and use within one week.
• Always use clean utensils to prevent contamination.
