Basic Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing
Description
Basic Lemon Vinaigrette Dressing combines tart apple cider vinegar and lemon juice with the smoothness of Dijon mustard and honey, creating a balanced dressing that enhances greens and vegetables. The addition of oregano and minced garlic adds aromatics and gentle herbal notes. Emulsifying with olive oil creates a creamy texture that clings nicely to salad leaves. This dressing is whisked or blended until smooth, allowing the flavors to meld together. It suits a variety of salad styles and can be adjusted by substituting sweeteners or herbs according to taste.
