Steps:

• Zest the orange. In a medium bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, salt and a grind of fresh black pepper.
• Gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time (8 tablespoons total), until creamy and emulsified. If desired, season with additional salt. Store refrigerated for up to 1 week; bring to room temperature prior to serving.

CRISP ROMAINE SALAD WITH TANGY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Add the olive oil, vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a glass jar, screw on the lid and shake vigorously to emulsify.
• Add the lettuce, chives and radishes to a large serving bowl. Add about half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss once again. Season with salt a pepper to taste. Serve extra dressing on the side.

LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and honey, if using.
• Drizzle in the olive oil while whisking and continue to whisk until the dressing is emulsified. Alternatively, combine everything in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake to combine.
• If your dressing is too tangy, add more olive oil, to taste.
• Add the thyme, if desired, and season to taste. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. The olive oil will solidify a bit in the fridge. To soften, let the dressing sit at room temp for a few minutes and stir before using.

TANGY MUSTARD

Steps:

• Combine the yellow mustard seeds, brown mustard seeds, and Oriental mustard seeds in a bowl. Pour the vinegar over the seeds and stir. Cover and store in refrigerator for 24 hours. If the seeds absorb all the vinegar too quickly, add more as needed or add a little water.
• Blend the soaked mustard seeds, garlic, honey, salt, and thyme in a blender until it is to your desired consistency, depending on how grainy you like your mustard.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the mustard into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings. Refrigerate at least 2 weeks before using.
