Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Citrus Dressing
  1. Start by gathering a small jar with a tight-fitting lid or a large mixing bowl. Add the apple cider vinegar, orange marmalade, freshly squeezed orange juice, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, ginger powder, and crushed red pepper.
  2. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture is entirely combined and the marmalade is dissolved. If using a bowl, whisk until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Gradually drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking continuously. If using a jar, add the olive oil, seal, and shake until thoroughly combined.
  4. Before serving, taste your dressing and adjust seasoning with more salt or orange marmalade if desired.
  5. Use the citrus dressing immediately or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
