Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette
Report
This Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette combines fresh lemon juice with Dijon mustard, sugar, and extra virgin olive oil to create a balanced, tangy dressing. The emulsification with olive oil gives it a smooth texture, while sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper add depth. The vinaigrette's bright acidity and subtle sweetness make it a versatile addition to salads or as a marinade base.
Description
The Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette recipe blends freshly squeezed lemon juice with Dijon mustard and sugar to initiate a flavorful base. Slowly whisking in extra virgin olive oil emulsifies the dressing, producing a slightly thick and evenly combined sauce. Seasoned with sea salt and ground black pepper, the vinaigrette offers a tangy and subtly sweet profile. Adjustments in oil or sugar can balance the sharpness of the lemon juice and any natural sweetness variations in the olive oil. This dressing is suitable for fresh salads, cooked vegetables, or light marinades.
