Sweet and tangy, light and refreshing, this summer vinaigrette will be in your fridge all summer. Lemon and orange zest add citrus flavor, while mint and basil add a bright and fresh taste. This dressing can be mixed by hand, but blending it intensifies the flavor from the fresh herbs. Serve over a nice mixed green salad or drizzle over grilled potatoes and vegetables to complement a summer meal.
