Orange Vinaigrette Dressing

This lush orange vinaigrette dressing is perfect for a summer's day when you want that zingy, fresh feeling on your vegetables, without any heaviness of any oils. Perfect for cleansing or detoxing.
Pitta's go easier on the spice, and best leave out the garlic.
Kapha's can turn up the spice a bit and can add more of the cayenne for a metabolism boost.
Vata's do also best without the wasabi and the cayenne but can crank up the lemon juice, the salt and the maple syrup.
