Citrus-Basil Dressing

This recipe was inspired by a recipe that I found on GoHawaii.About.com.  The author received a recipe for Pineapple Citrus Chicken with Lime-Basil Glaze while touring the Maui Pineapple farms.  I couldn't resist altering the recipe slightly to form a Dressing which is amazing on salads, gogoma, chicken or just licked right off of your fingers!





Citrus-Basil Dressing

1/3 cup fresh orange juice

2 tbsp fresh lime juice

1 tbsp minced red onion

1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest

1 clove garlic, pressed or finely minced

1/4 tsp salt

1/3 cup rice oil

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil

2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

1/4 C honey

1. In small bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, red onion, lime zest, garlic and salt.
2. Stir to dissolve salt.
3. Add honey,  2 tablespoons finely chopped basil and 2 tablespoons parsley.
4. Slowly whisk in rice oil.
