Honeyed Citrus Vinegrette

Have you ever bought something for a recipe and never have to use it again? Of course we all have. Orange extract was one of those culprits in our pantry. We actually didn't even end up using it! Well I decided to open that little bottle up and incorporate it into a last-minute salad dressing. It turned out surprisingly well - so light and refreshing. I encourage you to give that extract bottle a chance outside of baking!

Honeyed Citrus Vinegrette

1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp orange extract
1/2 c olive oil
1-2 tsp honey
3 sprig thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste 

Whisk everything together. Taste and adjust the flavors to your liking.
