Orange basil vinaigrette
Dietitians tip: Simply speaking, vinaigrettes are blends of oil and vinegar. This version uses extra-virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar, along with orange juice, Dijon-style mustard and basil. This vinaigrette is excellent over fresh spinach or a fruit salad.

Ingredients
2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup white wine vinegar

Directions
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice and cornstarch. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil for about 1 minute. Pour into a bowl or jar and refrigerate until cold.
