Sambal-Orange Vinaigrette

This vibrant sambal and orange vinaigrette offers a sophisticated balance of heat and citrus, perfect for brightening up a variety of dishes. The spicy profile of the sambal oelek is tempered by the natural sweetness of fresh orange juice, creating a versatile dressing that is far more interesting than a standard balsamic glaze. It is particularly effective when drizzled over crunchy slaw, grilled prawns or roasted root vegetables, providing a punchy flavour profile without the need for refined sugars.

As a low-sugar condiment, this homemade dressing is an excellent alternative to shop-bought versions that are often laden with sweeteners. The use of a neutral oil ensures the bright orange and chilli notes remain the star of the show. Whether you are meal prepping for the week or looking for a quick way to elevate a simple midweek salad, this vinaigrette can be whipped up in minutes and stored in the fridge for easy use.
