Just in the connotative sense, I think of vinaigrettes as being lighter than dressings--not heavily oily. Since your recipe has rice wine vinegar and other light ingredients, such as the tangerine juice and soy sauce, I would have thought it was a vinaigrette just based on its appearance even without your having announced it as a vinaigrette.
Now, please, Father Steve, even though this isn't a food thread, would you please post here the proportions of ingredients, for these ingredients sound very nice together and I'd like to try my hand at this creation. Thank you for considering.
