Orange Shallot Vinaigrette adds a zesty, sweet, and refreshing bite that complements salads, grain bowls, grilled tofu dishes, and more! Orange brings natural sweetness, shallots add some pungency, tahini lends a creamy base, and apple cider vinegar adds a little tang. Together, they become a delicious dressing in less than 10 minutes!
