Citrus Sauce - for Vegetables or As a Meat Marinade image

Besides dressing vegetables such as asparagus, carrots, broccoli and cabbage, this sauce can be used to marinate fish, poultry or pork dishes. This makes far more than is needed for a vegetable side dish, but it can be refrigerated or frozen for future use - but it can also be easily halved if desired (you only need 1-2 T per vegetable serving). It's low-fat too!
