Ingredients
Dressing
- 3 clementines
- 2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
- 2 Tbs. lemon juice, or more to taste
- 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation
To make Dressing: Grate zest from 1 clementine, and set aside. Cut all clementines in half, and squeeze out about 1/2 cup juice.
Combine clementine juice, vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper in salad bowl, and whisk with fork until salt dissolves. Add vegetable oil and olive oil in slow, steady stream, whisking well, and taste for seasoning, adding more lemon juice if too sweet.
